c. Click .
7. Identify the components of the linear scale Amplification plot and set the
baseline so that the amplification curve growth begins at a cycle number greater
than the Stop baseline cycle.
If you are inspecting an AutoCalled detector, verify that the baseline is called
correctly by the software and proceed to
open the Analysis Settings dialog box, configure the detector for manual
calling, then click

Then...
The amplification curve begins after the
default maximum baseline (cycle 15).
Adjustment of the baseline is not
required.
The maximum baseline is set too high.
Decrease the Stop baseline value by
dragging the right range marker ( ) to
an earlier cycle.
The maximum baseline is set too low.
Increase the Stop baseline value by
dragging the right range marker ( ) to a
