Adjusting the Baseline

When to use

Correcting the baseline

Use advanced baseline correction if you are analyzing data with an offset in the spectrum, particularly data with a strong sloping baseline at low mass.

NOTE: Because this function is iterative, it may take several seconds to complete, and typically takes longer for narrower peaks.

To correct the baseline:

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

2.From the Process menu, select Advanced Baseline Correction.

The Advanced Baseline Correction dialog box (Figure 5-16)is displayed.
