MicroLab PC
22 Agilent MicroLab Software Operation Manual
Baseline 1 Start, Baseline 1 Stop: These points define the area from
which the first point of a baseline will be calculated. For a single
point baseline, only Baseline 1 will be used. The baseline will be
taken as the minimum value within this range.
Baseline 2 Start, Baseline 2 Stop: These points define the area from
which the second point of a baseline will be calculated. The baseline
will be taken as the minimum value within this range.
Scaling: This section defines a linear calibration to be applied to the
data. This can be used with any of the peak definitions (Peak Height,
Peak Area, and so on), or to modify the value generated by a
multivariate (Quant) method. Often, this is used to change the value
to an appropriate scale.
NOTE
The Agilent software presents results only in whole numbers. An appropriate
scale should be chosen to produce results in whole numbers.
Scale (x value): The Scale is the slope of a linear calibration
equation. In the equation for a linear fit, y=mx+b, scale is ‘m’.
Offset: The Offset is the Y-axis offset for a linear calibration. In
the equation for a linear fit, y=mx+b, offset is ‘b’.
Decimal Digits to Report: This defines the number of decimal places
that will be reported in the answer.
Thresholds: This section defines limits that the MicroLab PC
software will use to color-code the displayed results and reports.
Values that are between the Marginal High and Critical High, or the
Marginal Low and Critical Low thresholds, will be displayed in
yellow. Values above the Marginal High or below the Marginal Low
thresholds will be displayed in red. All other values will be displayed
in green.
Report Value As: Values can be reported as either the actual value or
a percentage of either the Critical High or Critical Low values.
