Parameter Description
Detection Ranges Specifies one or more non-contiguous m/z ranges for peak
detection. You can set parameters for each range
independently.
You select a range in the Detection Ranges list box by
single-clicking the range number.
To add a detection range, do one of the following:
• Select an existing range, then click . This creates a
new range with boundaries ranging from the end of the
existing range to the end of the trace. If the existing
range ends at the end of the trace, the region of the
existing range is split in half between the existing range
and the new range.
• Double-click an existing range to manually enter lower
and upper boundaries.
• Select a range in the dialog box, then click-drag the
X data cursors labels in the trace to set the lower and
upper boundaries.
