5. Enter the retention times as follows.
Click the Original UV Peak Value (min) text box, then
right-click-drag over the peak to offset in the UV trace.
Select the Aligned UV Peak To (min) text box, then
right-click-drag over the peak to align with in the

retention time of the peak. If you enter spectrum
numbers by mistake, the peak does not align properly.
