Overview

 

You can display extracted chromatograms from Mariner data

 

files by selecting the Process menu with a Chromatogram

 

window displayed, then selecting:

To display

 

 

Extracted Ion—

Extracted Ion Chromatogram (XIC), which includes only the

Center Window

signal response from a mass window or range. For more

or Range

information, see Section 4.2.1, Creating an Extracted Ion

 

Chromatogram (XIC).

 

 

Extracted Ion—

Constant Neutral Loss chromatogram, which extracts only the

Neutral Loss

response from peaks that are separated by a selected mass

 

difference. For more information, see Section 4.2.2, Creating a

 

Constant Neutral Loss (CNL) Chromatogram.

 

 

Extracted

Extracted Absorbance Chromatogram, which includes only the

Absorbance

response from a specified wavelength window or range. For

(XAC)

more information, see Section 4.3, Creating an Extracted

 

Absorbance Chromatogram (XAC) (Mariner Data Only).

 

 

Types of Voyager data

Voyager chromatograms can optionally be displayed for multispectrum .DAT files. To display a Voyager chromatogram, select Restore Chromatogram from the View menu. For more information, see Section 2.1.3, Displaying Voyager

Chromatograms.4

If you have a chromatogram displayed, you can display the following type of Voyager data by selecting Traces from the View menu, then selecting:

Select

To display

 

 

TIC

Total Ion Chromatogram, which includes the entire mass range

 

saved in the data file. Each data point represents the sum of all ion

 

intensities in the corresponding spectrum.
