Before Accessing Macros

 

 

 

 

Before you access the toolbox, open data files of interest and:

 

 

• Smooth the data, if necessary, to reduce noise

 

• Set optimum peak detection and labeling

 

• Set the display range or zoom as needed

 

• Resize and organize the displays as needed

 

• Enable Allow Overlapping Labels (select Peak Label

 

from the Peaks menu). If overlapping labels are not

 

enabled, some peaks may not be labeled.

 

NOTE: Before using the MS Fit/MS Tag toolbox, additional data preparation is recommended. See Section Using MS Fit/MS Tag Toolbox.
