Graphs - AB Sciex 4500 Series System User's Manual

Graphs

The same data can be examined in different ways. Data can also be kept for comparison
purposes before performing processing operations such as smoothing or subtraction.
A window contains one or more panes arranged in such a way that all the panes are fully visible
and they do not overlap.
Panes may be of variable or fixed size. Panes are automatically tiled within the window and are
arranged into column and row format. If the size of a window is changed, the panes within the
window change in size to accommodate the new size. A window cannot be sized to the point
where any of the panes would become smaller than its minimum size.
Two or more windows or panes containing similar data can be linked, for example, spectra with
similar mass ranges. As one pane or window is zoomed in, the other pane zooms in
simultaneously.
For example, the user can link an XIC to the BPC from which the XIC was extracted. Zooming in
the BPC also zooms the XIC, so that both chromatograms show the same magnification.

• Select the pane or window and then drag it to
the new position. This position can be within the
same window or within another window.
A four-headed arrow is shown when the cursor is
on the boundary of the active window or pane.
• If the pane is at the top or bottom of the
target pane, the pane moves above or
below that pane, respectively.
• If the pane is at the left or right of the target
pane, the pane moves to the left or right of
that pane, respectively.
• If the pane is at any other position, the pane
moves to the target row. The drop shadow
of the pane as the pane is moved around
indicates its new position.
1. With the two graphs open, click one to make
that pane active.
2. Click Explore > Link and then click the other
pane.
