Browse Through Chromatograms

To apply sorting and filtering do the following:

  • Use File - Open Chromatogram command and navigate to the folder from which you want to open chromatograms.
  • Specify the filters by writing partial name in the File Name field to limit the set to desired chromatograms only.

Note:

It is possible to use the wildcards (*, ?) like in the example displayed in the image Browse Through Chromatogram. Asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters, whereas question mark (?) matches exactly one character.

  • Click the desired column header to set ascending/descending sorting according to that column.
  • Select a chromatogram from the defined set and open it using the Replace Opened Chromatogram(s) option or select all chromatograms that should be opened and open them using the Browse Selected Chromatograms option.
  • In the Chromatogram window use the commands from File - Browse Through Chromatograms menu or icons to browse through the chromatograms from the defined set.

The Browse Through Chromatograms function will always open the whole chromatogram (all of its signals).
