Use the Data Viewer application to visualize chromatography and MS data. With the Data Viewer application, you can display Chromatogram views and Spectrum views, navigate the scans, use chromatogram ranges to generate extracted ion chromatograms (XICs), and view chromatogram traces from multiple detectors and multiple raw data files.

Using the Data Viewer application, you can access injections and raw data files from the Ardia repository. In addition to data collected through the Xcalibur™ data system, you can also view chromatography-only (LC-UV) and mass spectrometric (LC/MS) data acquired from the Chromeleon™ Chromatography Data System (CDS). When you open a file, the Data Viewer startup window opens in a new workspace. A workspace can display multiple Chromatogram views, Spectrum views, and Chromatogram Ranges views. This application shows several functions, which are detailed in the following topics:

For a general understanding of the MS data, see these topics:
