If the indicator is a green check mark, the spectrum has passed all of the selected
spectral quality checks. If the indicator is a green check mark after the collection
is finished, you can add the spectrum to a spectral window (if it is not
automatically added).
If the indicator is a yellow circle, the spectrum has failed a spectral quality check
(a measured value was not within the allowed range), but it is not serious enough
to stop the collection.
If the indicator is a red X, there is a problem with the quality of the spectrum.
After correcting the problem, collect the spectrum again.
When you click the View Collect Status button at the end of data collection or
click the Collect Status indicator, the Collect Status dialog box shows a summary
of data collection problems encountered during the collection and other
information about the collection. A brief description of each problem is given,
along with the measured values and the allowed values specified for the quality
check that found the problem. The Explain button lets you display information on
solving the problem.
Note
To specify the quality checks you want performed during data collection, use the
Quality tab in the Experiment Setup dialog box. See “Quality checks” for details. ▲
You can copy the displayed information to the Windows Clipboard by choosing
Copy. You can then paste the information into a word processing program.

The resolution of the data is displayed to the right of the total number of scans.
The time elapsed since the current background spectrum was collected is shown in
the box that says “Bkg Age.”
Use the view finder if you want to display a different region. See “View finder” in
the “About the Display” chapter if you need help.
The peak intensity of the last scan is displayed below the pane as the “Peak
Value.” To see the noise level in a region of the spectrum being collected, use the
region tool to select the desired region. The noise value will be displayed below
the pane instead of the peak value.
