Changing the Chart Type

The Total Ion Chart is the default time chart shown in the ICP-MS Data Analysis
display window when an appropriate data file is loaded. It provides a single intensity
versus time plot for all elements analyzed in a sample. However, ChemStation also
enables you to view an extracted ion chart, which provides an intensity versus time
plot for each mass.
To view an extracted ion chart, complete the following steps:
1 Select Data Analysis
The ICP-MS Data Analysis window appears.

2 Select Data File
The Extract Ion Chart dialog box appears.

chart to appear, type the new values, in seconds, in the Time Range text boxes at
the top of the dialog box.
The default time range is the total acquisition period.
