Width

Number of data points used in smoothing for peak detection

 

 

 

before integration. This value is automatically calculated by

 

 

 

the software if you select Use Resolution Dependent Settings

 

 

 

on the Basic Settings tab. For more information, see

 

 

 

Section 3.1.2, The Resolution-Based Peak Detection

 

 

 

Routine.

 

 

 

NOTE: If you set Filter Width too high, narrow peaks may not

 

 

 

be detected.

 

 

 

Hint: If you manually set Filter Width, set to a number equal

 

 

 

to the number of points across the peak. To determine the

 

 

 

number of points across a peak, you can change the trace

display from Line to Vertical Bars. Each vertical bar

 

 

 

 

 

represents one data point. For more information, see

 

 

 

Section 1.4, Customizing the Data Explorer Window.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Increment

Number of data points the filter moves across. Use 1 for all

 

 

 

applications.

 

 

 

 

 

This value is automatically set to 1 if you enable Use

 

 

 

Resolution Dependent Settings on the Basic Settings tab.
