Post Scan Peak Confirmation

Post Scan Peak Confirmation

This option gives the operator maximum control over the automated determination of the peak "center". Here the peak center found by one of the 3 methods can be verified, by a slow step across the top of the centroid. Optimal centering is left to the discretion of the user, but one strategy is to look for the small flat plateau that normally is present at the peak centroid, or looking at the centroid at 99% of maximum intensity. The values used are, respectively, the time value of the "peaking" in Count Times and the step width using 1/20 (5% or +/- 2.5%) of the width for peakscan limits, in Peak/Scan options.
