Value Range:

On; Off

Default:

Off

Description:

Usually, an algorithm determines the baseline automatically. The Valley to Valley parameter enables baseline treatment from valley-to-valley, that is, from peak minimum to peak minimum, in a series of non-resolved peaks.

Function:

When the parameter is enabled, the baseline below non-resolved peaks leads from peak end to peak end.

 Notes:

The end of the last non-resolved peak in a series of peaks is always a baseline point since the chromatogram itself forms the baseline outside the peak.

 

The Valley to Valley parameter is invalidated by Lock Baseline.

 

The Type (Peak Type) criterion of the peak table has absolute priority.
