Browsing Through the Gas Library
Library Browsing Description
There are several ways to browse through the gas library depending on the display mode
and whether the Library Search utility is active. The Library display mode and search
utility are linked together to provide an intuitive interface to locate and view any gas in
the library file.
Library Display mode only:
1. Activate the Library mode by selecting the Library command from the Mode
menu.
2. Use the Next Item and Previous Item in the View menu to plot the next and
previous gases in the list (you may also use the left and right arrow keys).
Library Search utility only:
You may start this utility from any display mode
1. Start the search utility by selecting the Library Search command from the Utilities
menu.
2. Press the Show All button to list all available gases.
3. Use the scroll bar, and/or the keyboard to search the list or use the Search Masses
section to look for specific gases.
Library Display mode AND Search Utility:
The combination of these two modes provides a very quick way to look for gases.
1. Make sure both the Library mode and the Library Search utility are active (see
procedure above).
2. If you want to plot a gas, double click on its name in the Search utility dialog box or
click on it once (to highlight it) and press the plot button. The gas fragment pattern
will then appear as a histogram in the Library display.
