When analyzing data from multiple runs, it’s often essential to compare chromatograms side by side. Chromperfect’s Analysis Program makes this process straightforward with flexible options for tiled and overlaid displays.
Compare Chromatograms in Tiled vs. Overlaid Views
Tiled View: Each chromatogram is displayed in its own form, arranged horizontally, vertically, or cascaded.
Overlaid View: Multiple chromatograms are combined into a single plot for direct comparison.
The tiled or overlaid setting persists across sessions and applies as new files are opened.
Synchronized Expansion and Scaling
When comparing chromatograms, you can choose whether plots are scaled independently or kept in sync. With synchronized expansion enabled, rescaling one chromatogram will automatically adjust all others.
Staggering Traces
Overlaid chromatograms can be difficult to distinguish. The Stagger Setup option lets you offset traces horizontally or vertically, making overlapping data clearer.
Bar Mode for Peak Height Comparison
The Bar Mode option simplifies peak comparisons. Horizontal bars are drawn at corresponding peak positions, allowing you to easily see differences in peak height and width between chromatograms.
Additional Display Controls
Tile Horizontally / Vertically / Cascade via the Window menu.
Auto-Tile Options for new plot and report forms.
Apply Scale Changes to carry over overlay scaling when returning to tiled mode.
Conclusion
Being able to quickly compare chromatograms in Chromperfect ensures better data interpretation and method evaluation. Whether using tiled views for side-by-side analysis or overlay with bar mode for precise peak comparisons, these features help streamline chromatographic review.
