3D Field: Presentation Modes

The 3D Field is the relation between the retention time, wavelength, and absorption. Chromeleon supports two modes for presenting three-dimensional figures: ISO plot and 3D plot presentation. Use the Decoration dialog box of the PPA (Peak-Purity Analysis) pane to toggle between the two modes.

 

Presentation Mode

Description

ISO Plot

In the area formed by the retention time and the wavelength, lines with equivalent absorption are displayed in the same color. The resolution increases with the number of drawn lines (levels).

Online representation of the ISO plot, i.e., its real-time representation, is possible as well.

3D Plot

The 3D plot is a combination of perspective projection and iso-line plot. The iso-lines are moved to the third dimension, depending on the absorption degree. A grid containing all retention time and wavelength values is placed over the created profile.

 

 Note:

The 3D plot presentation mode requires more computing resources than the ISO plot presentation. Therefore, on-screen representation requires more time. Copying a 3D plot to the clipboard or printing is more time-consuming, as well.
