Report Variable (Detection Parameters)

Type:

Fixed point number

Dimension:

min

Value Range:

0.01 ... 999.99

Default:

The presetting is 999.99 min so that all peaks are considered.

Related Parameters:

Minimum Width

Maximum Peak Height

Description:

The Maximum Width detection parameter defines the maximum width above which peaks are ignored during peak detection. The peak width is measured on the baseline. For peaks that do not reach the baseline, the width is extrapolated.

The parameter must be enabled before the peak end. The maximum width influences peak recognition and thus the baseline.

 Tip:

You can hide peaks with a small area in the report without changing peak detection. To do so, in the report, select Properties on the Table menu, and then select the Reject peaks with smaller relative area than ...% check box.
