Overview

3.1.2The Resolution-Based Peak Detection Routine

Type of data affected

This section describes:

•Type of data affected

•Process that occurs

•Detection ranges

•PSD peak detection for Voyager data

The resolution-based peak detection routine applies to spectral data only. You can enable or disable the resolution-based peak detection routine as described on page 3-14.

Process that occurs

When enabled, the resolution-based peak detection routine

 

automatically:

 

• Divides a trace into detection ranges based on the

3

expected number of data points across a typical mass

spectral peak.

 

•Applies a Filter Width that is equal to the number of data points per peak in each detection range.

•Uses a Filter Increment of 1.
