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.
