If you are adding spectra to a search library or scrapbook, go to step 7.
If you are adding the spectra to a QC library, the dialog box lets you specify
whether to add the spectrum to an existing compound type or to a new type.
See the next step.
6. To add the first spectrum to an existing type, select Add To Current
Compound Type and then select one of the listed types. To add the
spectrum to a new type, select Enter A Compound Type and then type a
name for the new type in the text box.
7. Choose OK to add the spectrum or OK To All to add all the selected
spectra using the specifications you have made for the first spectrum.
• If you are adding just one spectrum and chose OK, or if you are adding
more than one spectrum and chose OK To All, the procedure is finished
(unless a spectrum fails a specified check; this is explained below).
• If you are adding more than one spectrum and you chose OK,
information for the next selected spectrum appears. Make the desired
changes and then choose OK or OK To All.
If you specified that the noise level or peak intensities of added spectra be
checked when you created the library, these items are checked and a message
appears if a spectrum fails a check. If you want to add the spectrum to the
library anyway, choose OK.
Selecting a
quant method
Use Quant Setup in the Analyze menu to select the quantitative analysis method
you want to use to quantify a spectrum (see “Quantifying a spectrum” for details).
The method must be calibrated using an optional OMNIC quantitative analysis
software package. See the documentation that came with that software for
information on calibrating quantitative analysis methods.
Select a quant method
1. Choose Quant Setup from the Analyze menu.
The Open Quant Method dialog box lists all the quantitative analysis methods
available in the directory specified in the File options (available through
Options in the Edit menu).
Note
If you have the QuantPad software, the Quant Setup dialog box appears when you
choose Quant Setup. Choose Select Method in the dialog box to display the Open
Method dialog box. ▲
2. Locate the desired method and select it by clicking its filename.
Method files have the extension .QNT.
When you select a method file, the title of the quantitative analysis method
appears in the Quant Method Title box. The quantitative analysis software
that was used to create the method is identified in the Origin box. Make a note
of this information. It will be useful if you need to find documentation to help
you interpret analysis results obtained with the method.
