Tuning integration

It is often useful to change the values for the slope sensitivity, peak width, height reject, and area reject to customize integration. The figure below shows how these parameters affect the integration of five peaks in a signal.

 

Using Initial Events

A peak is integrated only when all of the four integration parameters are satisfied. Using the peak width for peak 3, the area reject and slope sensitivity shown, only peaks 1, 3, and 7 are integrated.

Peak 1

is integrated as all four integration parameters are satisfied.

Peak 2

is rejected because the area is below the set area reject value.

Peak 3

is integrated as all four integration parameters are satisfied.

Peak 4

is not integrated because the peak height is below the Height Reject.

Peak 5

is rejected because the area is below the set area reject value.

Peak 6

is not integrated; filtering and bunching make the peak invisible.

Peak 7

is integrated.

Height and Area Reject Values

Integration Parameter	Peak 1	Peak 2	Peak 3	Peak 4	Peak 5	Peak 7
Peak integrated	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	Yes
Height reject	Above	Above	Above	Below	Above	Above
Area reject	Above	Below	Above	Below	Below	Above
