guidelines for
setting
parameters
Refer to the following table to determine how to set Advance
Baseline Correction parameters and obtain the desired
baseline correction.
Condition Set Parameters To
Baseline follows a rising peak cluster • Peak Width—Average peak width
• Flexibility—0.5
• Degree—0.5
Baseline is gently curving • Peak Width—10 to 20 times peak width
• Flexibility—0
• Degree—0.5 (decrease further to raise
the baseline)
Baseline rise should be ignored and
treated as signal • Peak Width—Half of the width of the
cluster to correct (in the illustration
shown, if the width of the cluster is 200,
set Peak Width to 100)
• Flexibility—0
• Degree—0.5 (decrease further to raise
the baseline)
