Calibration

Commands for creation of calibration and setting parameters.

  Set Level Sets the level to be displayed in the Calibration Summary Table. This serves the identical purpose to the one for level setting in the Calibration toolbar.
The selected level is indicated by the heading above the last four columns of the Calibration Summary Table. While the global Calibration Summary Table displays all substances on one of the selected levels, the tabs of individual substances will display all levels of that one particular substance.
  Set Signal Selects the active signal (when using multi-detector calibration). The sub-menu contains a list of available signals in the form of names taken from the signal names used for calibration in the first calibration standard. You can also select the active signal by clicking on the square with the color of the required signal in the Calibration toolbar.
The name of the active signal is displayed in the header of the calibration table and in the header of the calibration curve next to the name and retention time of the active compound.
Add All Adds or updates all peaks and groups in the calibration standard into the calibration.
Add Existing Updates all peaks and groups of peaks that are already in the calibration with the data in the calibration standard.
Add Peak Adds or updates the peak selected in the calibration standard into the calibration.
Add Group Adds or updates a group of peaks selected in the calibration standard into the calibration.
Add Named Group Opens the Edit Named Group dialog to create a new named group to the Calibration Table. Named groups are used for summing the amounts of already calibrated peaks for the purposes of reporting grouped results.
Delete Compound Deletes a selected compound from the calibration file. After invoking the Calibration - Delete Compound command or the icon, use the cursor to select the peak of the compound to be deleted. The command can be aborted anytime by using the Esc key.
Compounds may also be deleted from a calibration by deleting the corresponding line from the global table of compounds by using the Delete key or the Delete Compound command from the local menu.
  Delete All Compounds Deletes all compounds from the calibration file. Use of the commands in the Compounds tab cannot be undone using the Undo command. Before using the command a warning message will appear informing you of this condition.
  Clear All Responses Clears responses on all levels. Use of the commands in the Compounds tab cannot be undone using the Undo command. Before using the command a warning message will appear informing you of this condition.
  Clear All Levels Clears all responses and amounts on all levels. Use of the commands in the Compounds tab cannot be undone using the Undo command. Before using the command a warning message will appear informing you of this condition.
  Clear Selected Level Clears all responses and amounts on the selected level. Use of the Clear All Responses, Clear All Levels or Clear Selected Level command on the Compounds tab cannot be undone using the Undo command. Before using the command a warning message will appear informing you of this condition.
  Show Details Invokes the Details of Calibration Point dialog with a detailed log of the selected level of the calibration point. Dialog window provides following details: used, peak retention time, area, height, date of a (re)calibration and the name of the calibration standard.

Note:

Changing the response of a compound manually on any level that includes at least one recalibration completely clears the history of a given calibration point. You will be warned by a warning message before doing so.

Filter Not Used Compounds Hides/shows rows (and related tabs of individual compounds) of Calibration Summary Table with disabled Used checkbox. Warning is displayed above the table when rows are hidden. Clicking Show all disables filtering.
Options… Sets the calibration or recalibration method and implicit values.
