6.1.5. Compare Data...
This function displays a disk spectrum along with the spectrum in the buffer so that the two can
be visually compared. When Compare Data... is selected, a standard file-open dialog opens,
allowing you to select the desired spectrum file. Once the Compare file is opened, the Expanded
Display Window shows both spectra, as illustrated in Fig. 24.
Note that the spectra in this illustration are displayed in Fill All mode, in which all of the area
under the peaks is filled with a color different from the background (see Display/Preferences/
Fill All, Section 6.6.9.1).
The Compare spectrum is offset from the starting spectrum, and can be moved up and down
incrementally with the <Shift +
8
> and <Shift +
9
> accelerators. In addition, the vertical scale
of both spectra can be simultaneously changed with <
8
>/<
9
>. Note that the Compare spectrum’s
ROIs (if any were saved with the file) are not marked in this mode.
