Working with individual signals of a multisignal chromatogram smoothly

There are some tips on how you can enhance your workflow so that working with multiple signals is more convenient.

Individual scaling of signals

If the signals in the chromatogram have significantly different peak heights, individual scaling can be used to extend both signals over the entire area of the graph.

In the Graph properties - Signals tab, select the option Scale Signals Separately.

Graying out

To minimize the distraction by the other signals, it is possible to have inactive signals grayed out.

In the Graph properties - Signals tab, check the option Grey Out Inactive Signals.

Hiding the signals temporarily

Another option is to hide a signal completely for the session.

There are more ways how to achieve that:

  1. Left-click + CTRL on the signal color icon in the Toolbar.

  1. Double-click + CTRL on the name of the signal in the legend.

  1. Go to Chromatogram - Chromatograms...menu to invoke Chromatogram List dialog and select signal(s) to hide.
