Contour Plot 2D

What do you want to do?

• Organize your data:

  • Select signals from the 2nd dimension

  • View details on cuts

  • Select cuts

• Modify the Contour Plot 2D layout:

  • Show compound labels in the contour plot

  • Adjust colors in the Contour Plot 2D

  • Set number of panels to be shown

  • Show peak regions

  • Show actuals

  • Apply interpolation mode

  • Show UV Peak purity in the Contour Plot 2D

  • Adjust graphs (display modes, scaling options, zooming in and out ...)

• Work with the data shown in Contour Plot 2D:

  • Extract a spectrum from the Contour Plot 2D

  • Contour Plot 2D

  • Integrate manually

  • Export a graph with data of the 2nd dimension

The Contour Plot 2D window

The contour plot displays the detector response from both the first and second dimension:

• The X-axis shows the retention time of the first dimension.

• The Y-axis shows the retention time of the second dimension.

• The color reflects the detector response of the second dimension.

Cut display in the Contour Plot 2D

On the x-axis, cuts or series of cuts are shifted and their gap size is adjusted to improve visibility. The appearance of the contour plot depends on the type of data.

• High-Resolution Sampling: A gap is shown on the x-axis between the different series. The x-axis scale is discontinuous.

  For a multi-inject series, all cuts of the analytical gradient are displayed as one single cut in the contour plot. The cut annotation shows the range of the cut numbers contained in the multi-inject. The tool tip shows HiRes (Multi-Inject).

  

• Multiple Heart-cutting: Each cut is separated by a gap. If space allows, the x-axis scale may be continuous.

• Comprehensive: There are no gaps between the cuts.
