above to get a spectra that has the desired masses to be added.
Right click in the spectrum chart and select the

shows the dialog box that is associated with the option.
Peak Details
This section of the dialog contains the following.

Name - This is the name of the compound that will be added to the Target List or a library. It
can be called anything. It does not need to match the library name, if desired.

CAS

identifier assigned by Chemical Abstracts Service. The CAS numbers for all compounds can be
found in the AMDISNISTEPACW library which ships by default with the Chromion software.
When clicking Search Libraries… a search window opens in which to enter a
compound name to find a possible CAS number for the compound. The library that is
searched is the AMDISNISTEPACW which is the default library in Library Editor.


1. Add to current target list - If this option is selected the compound will be added
to the target list of the currently loaded method.
2. Add to library - When this option is selected a drop down menu becomes available
from which a library other than the default library can be selected. These are
libraries that are obtainable through
Library Editor
. If a new library is desired it
would first need to be created in the Library Editor prior to adding the new
compounds.

Source - This section contains the retention information. This field is affected by other options
and by the current target list settings. For the search algorithms to work correctly unknown
libraries cannot use retention time and must have a retention index value.
•
Use retention TIME - This option is only available for target lists that are using retention
time. If the target list in the currently loaded method is using retention index values this
option will not be available.
