Specify a fixed scaling

OpenLab CDS allows you to specify the scaling for both the time and response axis. Use this setting to apply the same scaling to any chromatogram, independently of the data.

Prerequisites

  • To be able to carry out the procedure as described, you need the privilege Processing Method > Edit general parameters. Privileges are configured in the Control Panel.

  • If the project enforces method approval, the method status must be Generic. For details, see Method approval.

  1. In the processing method, select the General > Signals node and the Scaling tab.

  2. Select the check box for the axis for which you want specify the scaling.

  3. The new scaling is applied to the Chromatograms window as soon as you leave the input field.

  4. To prepare using the same fixed scaling also in your reports, click Copy to injection report scaling.

  5. This applies the same settings to the Scaling tab of the Reports > Injection Report node in the method. The settings there apply to all automatically generated reports for injections that are linked to this method, and that use the report item Parameterized chromatogram.
