Adjusting Bands in a Gauss-modeled Lane
If you use any of the individual band commands—Create Band, Delete Band,
Adjust Band—in a lane that has been Gauss-modeled, the modeling will be
automatically removed from that lane. This is because the Gaussian models in
a lane are interdependent: changing a single band will invalidate the
modeling.
After you have made your band changes, you can always remodel the lane
you have changed.
Incorrect Modeling
The Gauss-model Bands command will attempt to model all the bands in the
lane(s) you select. You should carefully review the results of modeling using
the Plot Band, Bands in Lane, and Band Information commands as described
above.
If the Gaussian curve does not adequately conform to the profile of a band, or
if the Gaussian peak and trace quantities differ greatly from the normal peak
and trace quantities in the Band Information dialog, it may be because there is
too much lane background. Try using the Lane > Lane Background command
(section 13.2) with a smaller rolling disk size to remove more background,
then remodel your lane.
If Gaussian modeling isn’t working well with the bands in your image, you
can always remove the modeling. To remove the modeling from a particular
lane, select Remove One Gauss-model from the Band menu and click on the
lane.
To remove the modeling from all lanes, select Remove All Gauss-models. You
will be prompted to complete the action.
Removing Gaussian modeling will not affect any band detection or creation
you may have done.
