Conflict resolution

In the second dimension, the distance to the closest peak is calculated differently. See Peak match in the second dimension.

If multiple peaks are within the retention time window, there are different ways how to identify a particular peak. You can choose between the following values for Peak match in the compound identification parameters:

• First: Use the first peak in the retention time window.

• Last: Use the last peak in the retention time window.

• Closest (default setting): Use the peak that is closest to the expected retention time.

• Closest nested: When there is a base peak and a nested peak, and both have the same retention time, use the nested peak.

• Largest area: Use the peak with the largest area in the retention time window.

• Largest height: Use the peak with the largest height in the retention time window.

If the conflict cannot be resolved, none of the peaks will be identified and a warning will be written into the processing log.
