baseline levels. The third column, entitled Peaks, shows the scan at the peak apex.
The fourth column shows the Peak Response. Peak response is the intensity of
the peak.The fifth column shows the Peak Area. The sixth column, % Area, is a
ratio of the individual peak’s response to the response of the largest peak.
