Extracting chromatogram signals from PDA data
To add a signal at a specific wavelength and then calibrate it, use the following workflow.
- In the PDA Window, use the horizontal line marker in the Isoplot View (alternatively, use the vertical line marker in the Spectral View) and move it to you desired wavelength.
- Once satisfied with the current wavelength of the spectrum, add the signal using the menu Chromatogram - Add Signal... command.
- The dialog for adding a signal will open. It is advantageous to use the signal's wavelength as the new name of the signal when using the Add option. Fill in the details and click OK.
- In the Chromatogram window you will see there is a new signal with the name you have specified. (e.g. PAH - 232).
- Now you can calibrate chromatograms based on the different wavelengths.
