Analyzing Interactive Graphs

Interactive Graphs are used by MS connect to show .raw files in a simple way. It has three different graphs that a user can change between. The graphs can also be overlayed over each other for quick and easy data comparison.

Graph Types

There is an X-axis and 2 Y-axis'. The X-axis represents time in minutes. The Y-axis is dependent on which graph is being viewed.

• Base ion Chromatogram (BIC) uses the Ion Intensity / Ab Y-axis
• Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC) uses the Ion Intensity / Ab Y-axis
• MS2 Injection Time uses the Injection Time / ms Y-axis. This is only displayed if it is a Thermo Orbitrap system.

Tool Bar

• Download - Downloads the Interactive Graph to the computer
• Zoom - press with the left click and drag to create a square that will become the new frame of reference.
• Pan - Allows the user to move the graph around by holding lift click and moving the mouse
• Zoom in - zooms in entire graph based on the center point of the screen
• zoom out - zooms out the entire graph based on the center point of the screen
• Auto scale - Will fit the graph to the screen perfectly
• Reset axis - Will fit the graph to the screen perfectly
• Graph provider link - Takes user to the Interactive Graph website
