Average a spectrum - Ardia Data Viewer - Average a spectrum - Ardia Data Viewer

To increase mass accuracy and reduce noise in a spectrum, you can average the spectrum over an appropriate RT range or scan range.

To generate an averaged spectrum, the application uses the original intensity versus frequency data from the mass spectrometer. The application bins the data into frequency intervals, and then uses the instrument’s mass calibration file to convert the frequency data to m/z values.

You can enable spectrum averaging in the following ways:

• Average a spectrum from the Processing toolbar
• Average a spectrum from the Ellipsis menu
