    The location of where the line shoots up (or fluoresces) indicates the molecule(s) passing through; different molecules have different wavelength regions ● Y-axis = Intensity (counts): The height of this line, in general, indicates how much of that substance is present at that moment relative to earlier.

  • Page 14 Displays and tracks the interpreted values from your measurement. This plot reduces the raw data and shows you the “highlights” of the run. This view is especially useful for seeing how molecular levels changed over time. Arometrix recommends that Extraction Finder users prioritize this view. Understanding the Graph (X-Y Axis) ●...
  • Page 15 These correspond with the Region 1, Region 2, and Region 3 that are shown on the plots. When you press one of these, you will see a Wavelength range. These will come preset with manufacturer’s defaults; however, you can edit the From and To how you see fit. See below. Arometrix, Inc. sales@arometrix.com arometrix.com/resources...
  • Page 16 Set Scans to Average This sets how many optical readings the sensor takes before plotting and displaying a result. More readings that are averaged imply less noise, but less information. Arometrix recommends that you select 5. Clock Settings This should be set during initial acquisition. Set the Date Settings and the Time Settings. Then, Submit.
