Select & Process Raw Data
In a typical workflow, data to be used in analysis will have been flagged at the time of acquisition
and processed into Spectradyne Stats files by the Auto-analysis Engine (see page 18). In such a
scenario,
the user may skip to the section, “
Viewing the Results of Raw Data Processing
” on page
26, below. If the raw data has not already been processed, or if the user wishes to employ non-
standard processing parameters (i.e., a user-defined peak fit width or peak threshold), then the
manual method for processing raw data described next should be used.
Viewing and Selecting Raw Data for Analysis
Navigate to Data Location
➢
Open the Data Viewer software.
➢
In the Select/Quickview frame (Figure 15), use the folder icon to the right of the current
path to navigate to the location of the raw data.
Inspect Raw Data
➢
Check one of the plot options in the Raw Data Plot Parameters frame:
❖
“Raw” –
display the raw data as it was collected
❖
“Polished” –
display the raw data after default signal processing.
❖
“PS Filtered” –
display the raw data after PS Filter signal processing.
▪
PS Filter signal processing is a new feature (beta-release) that is intended
to improved reductions in baseline noise.
▪
PS Filter signal processing is most effective for large size cartridges (e.g.,
TS/C-2000)
▪
PS Filter signal processing requires additional computational time.
➢
Select a file from current folder in the Select/Quickview list box
—
the raw data will be
displayed.
➢
Use the up and down arrow keys to navigate through the files in the current directory for
rapid inspection of raw data.
Note: Select/Quickview Frame
➢
Files flagged for automatic data processing are highlighted in blue.
➢
The flag can be toggled for selected files using the “
Flag/Unflag
” checkbox.
➢
The Select/Quickview list can be filtered to show subsets of the folder contents
using the checkboxes adjacent to the list (e.g., stats files only).
➢
Metadata for any selected file is shown in the Active File Info frame.
