SEC Option 269<br />

Horizontal Baseline<br />

Select this button if you wish the SEC baseline to be drawn as a<br />

horizontal line forward from the Baseline Start Time to the Stop Time.<br />

The horizontal baseline stops when it crosses the data trace. A threshold<br />

value in microvolt must be specified to ignore any detector baseline noise<br />

in the trace that would cause the horizontal projection to stop when it<br />

encounters the noise in the trace. If the Horizontal Baseline reaches the<br />

end of the detected peak before the programmed Stop Time, the range<br />

will stop where the Horizontal Baseline crosses the data trace.<br />

Sample Data<br />

If you have selected Narrow standards calibration, this field will appear<br />

empty.<br />

Reference Peak Time (min)<br />

Select this box if you are using a retention time reference peak to adjust<br />

for changes in flow rate. All elution times/volumes used in calculations<br />

will be offset by the time difference between the value entered here and<br />

the time of the reference peak in the sample. Enter the expected<br />

retention time for the reference peak, in minutes.<br />

Reference Window (%)<br />

If you are using a reference peak, enter a value for the % window for the<br />

reference peak. A peak falling within +/- this % of the expected retention<br />

time for the reference peak will be considered the reference peak. (If two<br />

peaks fall within the window, the peak closest to the center will be chosen<br />

as the retention time reference.)<br />

Fit Type<br />

Select a calibration curve fit type from the drop-down list. The list<br />

includes: Point-to-point, Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, 4th Degree<br />

Polynomial, and Spline.<br />

Goodness of Fit<br />

The calibration curve for the data in the SEC Setup will be displayed in<br />

the calibration curve window. The r 2 value, which represents goodness<br />

of fit of the calibration points to the curve selected, will be displayed<br />

above the curve. A value of 1.00 indicates perfect fit. Select the Time or<br />

Volume button at the bottom of the calibration curve to display the x-axis<br />

of the curve as either retention time in minutes or retention volume. If<br />

you select volume, enter the flow rate in ml/min.<br />

Remove calibration curve outliers<br />

To temporarily remove an outlier from the calibration curve, click on the<br />

point with your mouse. It will change color and the curve will be recalculated<br />

with the point removed.<br />

Time/Volume<br />

Select the mode of viewing for your calibration curve: Time or Volume. If<br />

you select Volume, you must enter the flow rate so that the curve is<br />

displayed correctly.<br />
