Visualizing Peak Placements
To determine exactly where a peak is located relative to the original image, it is often
helpful to see the graph and the gel image in the same orientation. The Show Strip
function (found in the Options menu) displays the area of the gel that has been defined as
a lane across the length of the x-axis.
Graph With Show Strip Selected
Note: If Show Strip fails to show a portion of the image, check that the
appropriate driver for the VGA card is selected. (See Appendix X or Section 1.3 for
more information.)
Resetting Peak Edits
The Auto Peak function in the Integration menu recalls the automatic peak finding
algorithm used when the graph was first opened. Note: If the Auto Peak Detection
Parameters (height, width and area) have been changed, these will be the variables used
with the algorithm, and the peaks may differ.
Clearing All Peaks
To delete all the defined peaks on a graph at once, click on the Clear All Peaks function
in the Integration menu.
