Simulating Chromatograms
Viewing the Virtual Chromatogram

The Virtual Chromatogram simulates an actual analysis, using the currently selected analytes, column, void time, temperature, resolution criterion, and eluent condition. The Virtual Chromatogram is updated whenever the selected analytes or other parameters are changed.

The figure below describes the features of the Virtual Chromatogram. In this example, the Minimum Resolution criterion is selected.

Zooming/Unzooming

To zoom into an area of the chromatogram, press the left mouse button and drag to form a box around the area.

To return to the previous view, right-click and select Unzoom. To display the full chromatogram in the pane, right-click and select Full Size.

Gradient Profile

To superimpose the gradient profile (in blue) over the Virtual Chromatogram (in red), right-click and select Gradient Profile. This option is available only when a gradient simulation is selected.
