Generate XWCs
The user can extract up to three ranges from a DAD spectrum to generate the XWC. For more
information about using the available icons, refer to Table 6-8.
1. Open a data file that contains a DAD spectrum.
2. Anywhere in the pane, right-click and then click Extract Wavelengths.
Figure 6-4 Extract Wavelengths dialog
3. Type start and stop values.
4. Click OK.
The XWC opens in a pane below the DAD spectrum.
View DAD Data
The user can view DAD data in chromatogram or spectrum form, the same as mass
spectrometer data.
1. Open a data file containing data acquired with a DAD.
2. The TWC, which is analogous to a TIC, opens in a pane below the TIC.
3. In the TWC pane, click a point to select a single point in time, or highlight an area of
the spectrum to select a range of time.
4. Click Explore > Show > Show DAD Spectrum.
The DAD spectrum opens in a pane below the TWC. The y-axis shows absorbance
and the x-axis shows wavelength.
Generate TWCs
A TWC shows total absorbance (mAU) on the y-axis plotted against time on the x-axis. For more
information about using the available icons, refer to Table 6-8.
1. Open a data file that contains a DAD spectrum.
2. Click Explore > Show > Show DAD TWC.
Tip! If the pane with the TWC is closed, click a point anywhere in the TWC
to open it again. Click Explore > Show > Show DAD TWC.
