Viewing Spectra

Loading a Data File

To load a different data file, complete the following steps:

1 Select Top

>>Data Analysis>>Main Panel.

The ICP-MS Data Analysis window appears, showing a display of the

ICPDEMO.D data file.

When data is acquired with Multi Tune, multiple spectrum windows appear which

correspond with each Tune Step. The tune step number, for example Tune#1,

Tune#2..., is shown in the title bar. When the Multi Tune is not used, only one

spectrum is shown with Tune#1 on the title bar.
