The user’s equipment has been set up and configured at the factory. It should not be necessary to do a manual peak find. If the user feels that a manual peak find is required, contact ABB’s customer service (1-800-HELP-365) personnel for possible alternatives.
Figure 6-4 Manual Peak Find Dialog Screen Figure 6-4 has three major sections: the top-left displays the parameter columns for finding component peaks (see Figure 6-5), the top-right allows the user to adjust several physical parameters and the bottom section displays the current chromatograms.
To examine the results of changes to this section does not require the unit to run a new cycle. The new results can be applied by clicking on the Post Process button. The first set of rules applies between 17 seconds and 31.25 seconds. The peak algorithm works from the top of the chromatogram and moves down, identifying any peaks in the area between 17 and 31.25 seconds.
Component Peak Successive iterations of the Rise/Run algorithm Rise = 3 Run = 9 Front gate found Figure 6-7 A Successful Front Gate Determination In the example, it is assumed that the Rise/Run algorithm began its work at the component’s peak. This is generally true. Beginning at the peak, the Rise/Run algorithm works its way down with either side looking for that condition (intersection of the Run with the peak’s slope) that would satisfy the Rise/Run algorithm.
and down the back slope of Peak #2, starting at 0.1 of the front height. It will not detect the valley and will conclude that Peak #1 and Peak #2 are not separate peaks.

Helium is listed as the carrier and NC5 (normal pentane) is identified as the target component.
Is it possible for the user to identify any of the peaks that were expected? The example that was used is ABB Totalflow’s standard calibration blend for C6+. As such, this blend has certain recognizable features. This blend deals with heavies (C3-C6+).
Can the user identify the target component? In this blend, the butanes have three times the concentration of the pentanes. If looking at a reference chromatogram of this blend, the user would expect to see two butane peaks (about the same size) followed by three smaller pentane peaks (smaller by a factor of about 3).
right times. Ignore the differences in absolute peak height between the Actual and Reference chromatograms. This is just a matter of the amount of zoom employed. The user should pay attention to the relative heights (i.e., the butanes are about 3x larger than the pentanes).
