- ChemLab 1.2a with Lab Wizard requires Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51 or higher.
-
- Installing ChemLab:
-
- ChemLab is installed with an Install Shield install program.
-
- First unzip the file cl12a_e.zip using pkunzip.
-
- Executing "setup.exe" will start the install process and add a "ChemLab" menu to your
- start Programs menu.
-
-
- Running ChemLab:
-
- 1. Click the Windows Start button, and then point to Programs.
- 2. Select the ChemLab program in the ChemLab program group.*
- 2. When ChemLab starts pick a simulation module to load from the simulation dialogbox.
- 3. Read the lab introduction in the introduction text window.
- 4. After reading the lab introduction read the procedure.
- 5. Select the procedure tab above the text window.
- 6. Then perform the lab following the steps in the procedure.
-
- While performing the procedure you can record your observations in the observation text window.
-
- *ChemLab may also be run by double clicking on the ChemLab.exe file found in the ChemLab12
- program folder (c:\program files\Model Science\ChemLab12\chemLab.exe)
-
-
-
- Creating a UDL, with the lab wizard involves the following steps:
-
- 1. Select the ChemLab Wizard from the simulation dialog box (simulation dialogbox,
- appears at startup or when the users specifies new reaction).
- 2. The Lab Wizard will then appear.
- 3. Lab Introduction dialog, displays copyright information (read and select Next)
- 4. Lab Information dialog, specify the File Name, Lab title and short lab
- description (this information will appear later in the simulation dialogbox)
- (fill in and select Next)
- 5. Lab Documentation dialog, user specifies the introduction, procedure and results,
- RTF (Rich Text Format) files. To create these files user should first run Word or
- other word processor and save the files in an RTF format.
- (fill in all fields and select Next)
- 6. Available chemicals dialog, the user specifies chemicals required for their lab from
- a database of available chemicals.
- 7. The user may also add to or modify the chemical database, as they need to.
- 8. Modifying the properties of Added Chemicals. Once chemicals are added from the
- chemical database, their properties may be modified, this allows chemicals to be
- marked as products or reactants (reactants will appear in the chemicals dialogbox within ChemLab).
- (Add all chemicals and select Next)
- 9. Reaction dialog, the user specifies reactions list. Start adding reactions by
- selecting the "Add Reaction button". A reaction detail dialog will appear.
- Name reaction and set any reaction conditions. A new entry will appear in
- Reaction Tree. Drag and Drop Chemicals from the Available Chemical List to the
- leaf nodes labeled "Reactants" and "Products".
- 10. A reaction chemical dialogbox will appear if successfully dropped, fill in the
- coefficient for the chemical. Continue to drag and drop until you have the
- complete balanced reaction. Once all the reactions have been added, select Next.
- 11. Finish dialog, this is the last step in lab creation process, select Finish and
- the UDL will be created.
-
-
- Example UDL: The Cations and anion reaction lab was created using the Lab Wizard v1.0
-
-
- NOTE: The UDL(s) created with the evaluation version are not saved to file.
-
-
-
- Adding new Simulations:
-
- New simulations with dll and udl extension may be added to ChemLab by copying them to the
- ChemLab program folder.
-
- Additional lab simulations and upgrade files will be available for download from the
- Model Science web site page: http:\\modelscience.com, for registered users.

-
- Some useful Tips:
-
- 1. The Right mouse button brings up a popup context menu when clicked on the lab window.
-
- 2. Ctrl + left or right arrow key changes the selection of lab equipment.
- The Lab window must have the keyboard focus; click the right mouse key on the lab window.
