9.5.2 How to Use Background Subtraction
WARNING
Be careful not to subtract a data/peaks that may be
needed for proper identification within the
chromatogram.
Background subtraction is a key component in "cleaning up" spectra before
attempting to search against a database such as NIST. In order to obtain
background spectra, there are two triangles ("cursors"), one with one blue line
designated as Background 1 (B1), the other with two blue lines designated as
Background 2 (B2), located at the bottom left of the TIC window.
NOTE: All background subtractions are indicated in the Spectrum window by
the designation Scan Number - B1(range) - B2(range).
