Type:

Switch

Dimension:

---

Value Range:

On; Off

Default:

Off; that is, negative peaks are not detected.

Description:

The Detect Negative Peaks parameter enables and disables detection of negative peaks. When the parameter is enabled, negative as well as positive peaks are detected.

Function:

Enabling detection of negative peaks automatically enables the Lock Baseline parameter. Disabling negative peak detection locks the baseline to the default again. In the result report, the area of negative peaks is indicated as a positive value.

To correct the baseline without labeling the peaks or including peaks in the peak list, select the Don't label option.

 Tip:

In order to be effective, this switch must be activated before the peak start.
