The following table defines the parameters used in the ICIS algorithm for peak detection.
Parameter | Subparameter | Description |
---|---|---|
Baseline Window | N/A | Specifies the number of scans that the peak detection algorithm uses to determine the peak’s minimum baseline. A greater number of scans indicates a wider scan range, which results in a lower baseline. Range: 1–500; default: 40. |
Area Noise Factor | N/A | Specifies the noise level multiplier that the peak detection algorithm uses to determine the peak edge after the location of the possible peak. Range: 1–500; default: 5. |
Peak Noise Factor | N/A | Specifies the noise level multiplier that the peak detection algorithm uses to determine the signal threshold of a potential peak. Range: 1–1,000; default: 10. |
Constrain Peak Width | Checkbox | Limits the peak width of a component during the peak integration of a chromatogram. |
Peak Height (%) | N/A | Specifies how much above the baseline (as a percentage) the total peak height of a signal must be before integration turns on or turns off. Range: 0.00–100.0; default: 5. |
Tailing Factor | N/A | Specifies a factor that controls how the algorithm integrates the tail of a peak. This factor is the maximum ratio of the trailing edge to the leading edge of a constrained peak. Range: 0.50–9.0; default: 1. |
