Click on the unit of the x-axis to toggle between energy and channels.
Shift the entire spectrum on the energy scale by holding the left mouse button down and
moving the x-axis to the right or to the left
Change the intensity scale by holding the left mouse button down and moving the y-axis
down or upwards. Alternatively, use the cursor keys
and
or PgUp and PgDown
Spread the spectrum by holding the <Ctrl> key and the left mouse button down while moving

5.5.6.2 Peak
Identification
If an existing method is used for the measurement, all elements are pre-defined and peak
identification is not required. However, in certain cases it can be necessary to identify unknown
peaks or to perform a spectrum deconvolution. This can be done using the periodic table of
elements which is opened by clicking the
button.
The available functions for the peak identification are described in Table 15.
