Using the Build-in Test Chromatogram
This function is available from the Agilent ChemStation, Lab Advisor and Instant
Pilot.
The built-in Test Chromatogram can be used to check the signal path from the
detector to the data system and the data analysis or via the analog output to the
integrator or data system. The chromatogram is continuously repeated until a
stop is executed either by means of a stop time or manually.
The peak height is always the same but the area and the retention time depend
NOTE
on the set peakwidth, see example below.
