I have a question about setting up the QEdit X axis scale for Chemstation E.02.02. I want a 2 minute window when I QEdit a sample but instead the time frame is only 1 minute. It isn't a big deal but it does make my peaks look like they are tailing when the X axis time is only 1 minute. Does anybody know how to adjust the time frame? Thanks!
It is tedious, but you can type "XP 1" at the command line to redraw for each analyte.

If you are comfortable altering the macros, look for the variable "xtime" in the qedit.mac file. I believe it is set to 0.75 minutes, and the qdisplay routine will add another 0.25 to that.

The qedit.mac file will be in the MSDChem\msmacros folder for MS data, and in the MSDChem\gcmacros for GC data.
Thanks so much! That worked perfectly. It was very annoying having to adjust the window for each compound and now it is at the 2 minute window I want. Thanks again!
