Baseline Sub. Window
After smoothing, but before other processing, chromatograms are baseline subtracted to remove humps in the
data. For each data point, the baseline is calculated using the data points on both the left and right side of the
current point with minimum intensity (within the subtraction window).
The exact value of this parameter is not critical, provided that it is set at least a few times larger than the expected
peak width.
In
, the left graph shows the Baseline Sub. Window set to 0.1 minutes and the right graph shows the
Baseline Sub. Window set to 1 minute.
