Understanding The Ixr Display - Thermo Scientific APEX 100 User Manual

Understanding the IXR Display

Once the IXR function has been enabled, the detector's Main Menu displays additional
information that helps you monitor how the IXR function is operating—specifically by
displaying the following.
•
Detect levels for both the X and R channels.
• Peak-signal values for both the X and R channels.
• A display showing the above information in an easy-to-read graphical format.
Dual Display for Detect Levels
The dual display for the X- and R-detect level looks like this. (The actual values in your
screen—almost certainly—will be different.)
Detect Level
Thus, when the APEX detects a signal in either the X or R channel that exceeds the
displayed thresholds, the package will be rejected. Please note that when the display is
highlighted (as shown in the screen above), pressing the Go button takes you directly to
the "Detection Level and Noise Threshold" menu (that is, page 2 of the frequency and
gain menu, where these values can changed if needed).
