Viewing Spectra
Changing the Display Type
ChemStation provides options for changing three aspects of the spectral display
type. You can choose whether the Y-axis display is logarithmic or linear, whether the
display reflects total counts or counts per second (CPS), and whether the display
uses a bar or line graphic mode. The default display type is a linear Y-axis showing
total counts using a bar graphic mode.
To change the spectral display type, complete the following steps:
1 Click the horizontal Control Box Menu at the top left of the mass spectrum
display window.
The window menu appears.
2 Select a display type by clicking Log, CPS, or Line Display.
• Log
The Y-axis will change to a logarithmic scale.
• CPS
The spectrum will be displayed in counts per second (cps).
• Line Display
The spectrum will be displayed as a line graph.
NOTE You can only select one display type at a time. If you want to select more, repeat the
above steps.
3 To deselect display types, click the Control Box Menu and then click the display
type you want to deselect.
The display types are selected if they have check marks to the left of the type.
Clicking the selection again removes the check mark and deselects the display type.
NOTE The display type remains selected until you deselect it or until you load a new data
file.
