222 PDA Analysis and Calculations<br />
computed. A peak is considered identified if this calculated similarity<br />
index is at least the value specified in the Similarity column of the peak<br />
table.<br />
If Similarity is not specified as a basis for peak identification, then this<br />
field is ignored.<br />
Similarity<br />
If Similarity is specified as a basis for peak identification, then this field<br />
specifies required minimum similarity index for a peak to be considered<br />
identified. During identification, the reference spectrum (see previous<br />
section) is compared to the peak apex spectrum and a similarity index is<br />
computed. A peak is considered identified if the calculated similarity index<br />
is at least the value in this field.<br />
If Similarity is not specified as a basis for peak identification, then this<br />
field is ignored.<br />
Analysis Channel<br />
Specify which Diode Array wavelength channel is to be used for analysis<br />
of the peak. The choices will be those specified in Instrument<br />
Setup/DAD.<br />
PDA Analysis and Calculations<br />
This section describes the various types of calculations that are related to<br />
PDA data and how the data is analyzed.<br />
In order to maintain accuracy during the application of multiple<br />
operations, all calculations are performed using double-precision<br />
floating-point numbers.<br />
Chromatograms Extracted from the 3D Data<br />
Two types of chromatograms may be extracted from the 3D data:<br />
� Multi-Chromatogram Channels: One or more chromatograms<br />
defined on the Multi-Chromatogram tab of PDA Options<br />
� Working Chromatogram: A single chromatogram extracted<br />
from the Contour plot on the Mixed View display. (This<br />
chromatogram is displayed in the Chromatogram View)<br />
Specific Analysis-related capabilities are for these chromatograms are<br />
detailed below.<br />
Multi-Chromatogram Channels<br />
The following apply to multi-chromatogram channels:<br />
� In the Channel Selection drop-down list, each multi-chromatogram<br />
channel has a unique identifier that includes the wavelength and<br />
bandwidth of the channel.<br />
� Each Multi-Chromatogram Channel has a separate Integration<br />
Events Table, <strong>Manual</strong> Integration Table, Export Table and<br />
Performance Table associated with it.<br />
� All Multi-Chromatogram Channels share a common peak and group<br />
table. Within the peak and group tables, any channels may be<br />
selected as the analysis channel for quantitative information.<br />
� When an analysis is performed, all multi-chromatogram channels are<br />
automatically analyzed.
