100% over all peaks:
area standardization
This is the integration procedure for which the least
data have to be entered. The chromatograph fills in the
component list itself and calculates the peak areas ac-
cording to

Areas of all peaks
The area standardization has been improved in software
version V7.0 in three points:
Unknown peaks
The area standardization no longer overwrites an
existing component list.
If a peak can be assigned to an existing component
line, its result is entered there.
Unknown components area appended to the known
components in the component list. They can be rec-
ognized by a dash instead of a component name.
During the next run, only those components are
overwritten again whose name begins with "-" .
More than 64 peaks
If a chromatogram has more than 64 peaks, the 63
highest peaks are entered into the component list.
The areas of the remaining peaks are added as com-
ponent 64 under the name "- (REST)".
Automatic filling-in of component list
This only functions if you completely delete the
component list prior to the run.
The chromatograph automatically enters a retention
time and a retention window into the component
list for each peak.
The window width is calculated by the chromato-
graph from the retention time and the parameter
"Peak width".
Further default settings are entered by the chroma-
tograph into the component list.
A component list with these default settings can be
easily edited and matched to the desired application.
External standard
A calibration sample with known composition is ana-
lyzed. The concentrations of the components are then
entered together with a dimension into the calibration
list. The chromatograph then calculates the calibration
factors for each peak.

100% over all components
This integration procedure can be used if all compo-
nents of the sample are measured but their total does
not result in exactly 100 % because of inaccuracies in
the measurement. A quasi area standardization is then
carried out, but calibration factors are taken into con-
sideration which were previously determined according
to the procedure
