Profile vs. Centroid spectral displays
Centroid spectra for the TOF and Q-TOF display the abundance
vs. mass for the calculated centroid of the peak. Profile spectra
display the abundance vs. mass over the mass range of the peak.
The default display is to plot abundance vs. mass, but you can
change the x-axis to time. To do this, right-click the Spectrum
Plot window and click Show Time from the shortcut menu. Click
Show Mass to return to the Abundance vs. Mass plot.
