Chapter 5 Examining Spectrum Data

General guidelines for setting parameters

Refer to the following table to determine how to set Advance Baseline Correction parameters and obtain the desired baseline correction.

Condition		Set Parameters To
Baseline follows a rising peak cluster	•	Peak Width— Average peak width
	•	Flexibility— 0.5
	•	Degree— 0.5

Baseline is gently curving	•	Peak Width— 10 to 20 times peak width
	•	Flexibility— 0
	• Degree— 0.5 (decrease further to raise
		the baseline)

Baseline rise should be ignored and		•	Peak Width— Half of the width of the
treated as signal			cluster to correct (in the illustration
	Peak cluster		shown, if the width of the cluster is 200,
			set Peak Width to 100)
		•	Flexibility— 0
		• Degree— 0.5 (decrease further to raise
			the baseline)
