7 Calibration

Peak Summing

The peak sum table is provided for certain applications in the petrochemical

and pharmaceutical industries that can be performed more effectively with

the following features:

• Sum the areas of peaks that lie within a range specified by the user

• Sum the areas of a range of peaks and perform the calculations using a

single multiplier

• Sum the areas of all peaks having the same name

The peak sum table is similar to, but distinct from the standard calibration

table. Like the calibration table, it is associated with the current method.

NOTE

You must create a calibration table for an analysis before you can create the peak sum

table.
