Viewing Spectra

Viewing Spectra
The Spectrum acquisition mode displays data acquired from sample analysis as
intensity versus mass (mass spectrum). ChemStation generates spectra for data
acquired with a method using Spectrum or Isotope Analysis as the acquisition mode.
For information about creating a method using these acquisition modes, see Chapter
5, "Creating a Method."
ChemStation offers three options for changing the spectral display type and enables
you to change both the vertical and horizontal scales of the display. ChemStation
also provides tools for identifying unknown peaks in a spectrum, enabling you to
access information from the element databases in the process. Finally, ChemStation
gives you the option of viewing data from sample analysis in tabulated as well as
spectral form.
This chapter explains how to display and analyze spectra and view data in tabulated
form.
