The Curve tab and Curve Names tab

The Curve tab

The Curve tab of the Chromatogram Layout dialog box contains a list of all the curves included in the chromatogram. Select the curves you want to display in the chromatogram, and click OK.

Curve name appearance

You select options for the curve name appearance on the Curve Names tab. This is an example of a default curve name:

Result:11_UV1_280

The table below describes the three components that make up the default curve name:

Component

Description

Example

Result name

Name of the result.

Result

Chromatogram name

Number given automatically during a run or a name defined by the New_Chromatogram instruction.

11

Curve name

Curve type, for example detection of an eluted component.

In this example, the system uses a variable wavelength detector, so the wavelength (280) for the UV curve is also given.

UV1_280

How to choose curve name appearance

You can choose to view only part of the curve name. The table below describes how to do this:

Step

Action

1

Open a result file.

2

Choose Edit:Chromatogram Layout.

3

Click the Curve Names tab.

4

  • Select the appropriate boxes for Curve name appearance.

  • Select the appropriate Curve legend position.

  • Click OK.

Note: It is usually sufficient to select the Curve Name option if only one chromatogram is being evaluated. However, confusion can arise when more than one chromatogram is shown, so more complete names might be necessary.
