Change Peak Detector Peakwidth (DAD Timetable)

This function enables you to change the peakwidth (response time) at the specified time. The peakwidth is defined as the width of a peak, in minutes, at half the peak height.

You can choose from

  • same as Peakwidth

  • 2-times Peakwidth (Peakwidth × 2)

  • 4-times Peakwidth (Peakwidth × 4)

  • 8-times Peakwidth (Peakwidth × 8)

When used in the timetable, this parameter changes the filters used for peak-controlled spectral acquisition, but not the data rate of a chromatographic signal.

This setting makes sense only with peak-controlled spectra; it allows you to change the peakwidth setting to account for broadening peaks at the end of the run.

If the application supports full spectra only (for example, EZChrome) Change Peak Detector Peakwidth is not available.
