Peak asymmetry and symmetry

Can Agilent program calculate peak asymmetry As or it calculate peak symmetry and tailing factor? How can I convert peak symmetry to As?

The peak symmetry calculation used in ChemStation is somewhat different and has been discussed before:

You can get the USP tailing factor reported (see the above thread).

OK. Thanks.
What about the asymmetry factor As. What is an acceptable range for As?
Is 0.5< As<1.5 good enough?
