C.3 ANALYSIS COMPUTATIONS
There are two basic analysis algorithms
included in the controller:
• Area Analysis – calculates area under
component peak
• Peak Height Analysis – measures height of
component peak
C.3.1 CONC. ANALYSIS WITH RESPONSE FACTOR
Calibration
The concentration calculations discussed as
follows require a unique response factor for
each component in an analysis. These factors
may be manually entered by an operator or
automatically calculated by calibrating the
system.
