8.7.2 Range Tool
The Range Tool is a red-striped triangle located at the bottom left side of the
chromatogram. It is used to average spectra over a “range” of scans across a given
peak, especially when the analytes are low in concentration. It can also be used to
select a section of a peak or reintegrate peaks. The SI numbers for the selected
compound will increase when using the Range Tool. Follow the instructions below
to use the Range Tool.
1 Place cursor on the red-striped triangle, which is the Range Tool. Left-click,
hold and drag the triangle to the location where the scans should be averaged.
