3.5 Peak Labeling

Factors affecting peak labeling

3

Labeling peaks manually

This section includes:

•Charge state labels

•Setting chromatogram and spectrum peak labels

•Setting custom peak labels

Peak labels are displayed only for detected peaks in the peak list (displayed in the Output window). Thresholds for peak labeling are set independent of peak detection.

Peaks listed in the peak list are determined by:

•Peak detection parameters, described in Section 3.6, Process that Occurs During Peak Detection, Centroiding, and Integration

•Charge state determination, described in Section 3.2.5, Charge State Determination and Examples

•Peak list filtering, described in “Filtering the spectrum peak list” on page 3-42

NOTE: If peak labeling is disabled, no labels are displayed, even for peaks in the peak list. If you delete a peak from the peak list, it is not labeled.

If peak detection settings do not detect and label desired peaks, you can also manually label peaks by inserting them into the peak list. See Section 3.3.2, Inserting Peaks in the Peak List.
