Analyzing Spectra

To analyze spectra in ChemStation, you can access information from the element
databases to identify unknown peaks. You can then match this information with a
spectrum by using a template that overlays a selected peak on the spectrum.

Using the Template

ChemStation enables you to match information from the element databases with the
data displayed in a spectrum. To analyze the spectrum, however, you may want to
focus on a particular section of the mass scale. For information about enlarging a
portion of the mass scale, see "Changing the Horizontal Scale of a Spectral Display"
in this chapter.
You cannot use the template if the adjacent masses were not measured originally.
A vertical line extends through the entire height of the display, dissecting the peak
where you place the cursor.
To view a peak more clearly, change to a line display. See "Changing the Display
Type" earlier in this chapter for more information.
