To copy raw data (x,y pairs) for the peaks displayed in the active trace to the Windows clipboard:

1.Select the trace window to copy. Zoom and adjust the trace as needed.

NOTE: Only raw data for the set of peaks displayed in the trace window is copied.

2.From the Edit menu, select Copy, then select Trace Data.

3.Paste the data into an appropriate application, for example, another Data Explorer trace window or Microsoft Excel.

When pasted into a Data Explorer trace window, the trace appears with the filename in parentheses and the trace label from the copied trace.

CAUTION

A trace pasted into an active Data Explorer window contains only the data points for the trace. The Sample Info and Instrument settings tabs display data from the original data file. These tabs do not include information about the copied trace.

Use this method to copy the section of the peak list pertaining to the peaks displayed in the active trace window. To copy the peak list for all peaks in the active trace, see “Copy all peaks” on page 1-40.
