Off

Description:

This detection parameter is an implicit threshold for setting the peak end. In the case of the Fronting sensitivity factor, the options refer to the peak start.

Function:

The following paragraphs describe the Tailing sensitivity factor options. The Fronting sensitivity factor behaves in the same way.

Off (=0):

The peak end is moved on the time axis until the slopes of the chromatogram and of the baseline correspond in the peak end.

Factor 1 - 100:

First, the time for the peak end as described above is determined for Off (=0), then the right baseline width is determined, using the Baseline Level parameter of the Right Width peak variable, or peak.right_width(0)). The value, which is the upper limit for the distance between the peak retention time and the peak end, is multiplied by the Tailing sensitivity factor. If this limit is exceeded, the peak end is corrected and reset accordingly.
