The Data Viewer application uses two algorthms for peak detection:

  • ICIS
  • Gensis

The following table defines these algorithms.

Description

Select Algorithm

N/A

Specifies the peak detection algorithm to be used for processing the chromatographic peaks.

ICIS

The ICIS peak detection algorithm is the default algorithm that the application uses for MS data, and it has superior peak detection efficiency at low MS signal levels. The application applies the peak detection algorithm to the active plot or all the plots in the Chromatogram view.

Genesis

The Genesis peak detection algorithm is the original Thermo Scientific Xcalibur peak detection algorithm and provides backward compatibility with Xcalibur 1.0 data system studies.
