Displaying Replicate Files

When more than one repetition is set in a method for spectrum acquisition, Chem-
Station creates a data file, or replicate, for each repetition.
To view each individual replicate, complete the following steps:
1 Select Data File>>Display Replicate Files.
The Display Replicate Files dialog box appears with the list of repetitions.
Display Replicate Files Dialog Box
2 Select the replicate file that you want to view, then click the Display File push
button.
The selected replicate file appears on the ICP-MS Data Analysis window. The
selected file will be indicated on the title bar with the number as the extension of the
file (e.g. UNKNOWN.02). You can perform data analysis on that replicate file.
3 To return to the Average file, select Data File>>Display Replicate Files once
again and click on the Display Avg push button.
The ICP-MS Data Analysis will display the Average file. It will be indicated on the
title bar with the.d extension. If the method is set to correct data (using either back-
ground subtraction or interference correction), the file extension will be.d#.
