5 How to optimize the Detector
Optimizing the Detector Performance
The detector has a variety of parameters that can be used to optimize
performance. Depending on whether signal or spectral data need to be
optimized, different settings are recommended. The following sections
describe optimization for:
• signal sensitivity, selectivity and linearity,
• spectral sensitivity and resolution (DAD only), and
• disk space required for storing data.
How to Get the Best Detector Performance
The information below will guide you on how to get the best detector
performance. Follow these rules as a start for new applications. It gives
rules-of-thumb for optimizing detector parameters.
NOTE
The information in this chapter should be seen as a basic introduction to diode array
detector technics. Some of these technics may not be available in the instrument firmware
or the user interfaces (Control Module and/or Agilent Chemstation).
