Signal Noise calculation Chemstation

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

Hello,

when using the Agilent Chemstation software for signal to noise calculations, it apparently uses the formula S/N = Height / Noise.
Besides using 6xSD instead of PtoP, the correct formula should be 2*Height/Noise. Am I right? That's the formula which is given in the EP and USP.
Can anybody clarify, because this halves the S/N ratio in the Chemstation.

Thanks
If my memory doesn't fail me... the range of the noise should be set at 5 x peak (halfwidth) of the peak of interest... then take the s/n value x 2 to get your final result.
