Peak Detection (Shortcut button 4)
Auto Detect Peaks: Turns on and off the automatic peak
detection. The following options determine how peaks are
detected:
Minimum Peak Height: Minimum height the peak has to be above
the higher of the two adjacent minima for the peak to be
detected.
Minimum Peak Width: Minimum width of the peak as determined
by the difference in wavelength between the highest of the two
adjacent minima and the opposing intersection of that higher
minimum level and the peak profile. (See the screen displayed
below).
Peak Detect on Zoom: Determines whether peaks are re-assessed
and tabulated when the user zooms into a region of the
wavescan. If Off, leaves the peak detection as determined on the
un-zoomed display.
Sort Peaks by…: Determines the sequence that peaks are
reported by. Can be wavelength, peak height or peak width.
Draw Peaks: Switches display of peak cursors on and off. These
show vertical dashed lines displaying the measured peak height
and horizontal dashed lines showing the peak width.
Pressing Cancel ignores the selection, pressing OK accepts
them.
