6.7.3.1 Navigation of a time scan or a time scan analysis

After a time scan has been completed, the time and the absorbance/transmittance data are displayed as a curve.

Where the cursor is positioned on the curve, the elapsed time up to this point and the corresponding absorbance are highlighted.

curve. The difference to the fixed cursor is shown on the curve. The delta values are

correspondingly highlighted and displayed on the x and y axes.

(Choice of Cursor Mode)

The gradient of the curve and the correlation coefficient (r2) between the cursor points in the

 

Delta mode are shown under the curve.

 

 

 

Cursor Mode Single: The cursor moves to each selected measurement point of the scan.

 

 

 

The arrow keys (right/left) are used to move the cursor (depending on the selected mode) to the

next data point. The data of the data point (wavelength/absorbance or transmittance value) are

highlighted on the x and y axes.

 

 

Note: Press any point on the curve to display the associated data.

 

 

Zoom Icon

This function is used to magnify the section of the curve in the vicinity of the cursor. The original

curve size can be restored by pressing the zoom icon again.
