5.8.1Using Baseline Offset

Use the Baseline Offset command to offset the y-axis in a spectrum or to correct a sloping baseline:

1.Activate the window in which you want to perform the offset.

NOTE: You can select a Chromatogram or a Spectrum window. If you do not activate the correct type of window before performing the next step, the software does not select values when you click-drag on the trace. For example, you must select a Spectrum window before starting baseline offset on a spectrum.

2.Select Duplicate Active Trace from the Display menu to keep the original data displayed after processing.

3.From the Process menu, select Baseline Offset.

The Baseline Offset dialog box (Figure 5-14)is displayed.
