Extracted Ion Chromatogram in Chemstation

Discussions about GC-MS, LC-MS, LC-FTIR, and other "coupled" analytical techniques.

Hi All,
I am trying to display the total ion chromatogram above any single ions I also display.
How can this be done?
What do I type into the box to get all ions displayed - or a range ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
WK

Hi WK,

alternatively, you could try to display the ions in OpenChrom like shown in the image. A click on the ion in the mass spectrum selects the ion for display. The options tab of the chromatogram allows you to set a magnifaction factor too. There are several views to display overlayed ions:

OpenChrom can be downloaded here:

Converters for the Agilent format are available in the marketplace, free of charge:

Thanks for the reply eselmeister.
Judging from the 64 views so far, this is not possible in chemstation.
I'm amazed !

Maybe yes or somebody have forgotten to tell us which type of Chemstation is used? :wink:
Hi - its E.02.02.1431
I have figured it out. Open file and when the large pane comes up:

TIC = 0
-1 = no display
77 = ion 77 displayed etc.

This should be in the extract ion help page !

Why does 0 not then = TIC in extract ion feature? !

:D

In the command line , or in a macro

TIC ,X,
Draw 1,X
EIC ,77,Y,
Draw 2,Y
JOIN X,Y
Draw 2, X

Or use AMDIS, to get autoscale, plus no programming, or eselmeisters excel programme.

kind regards
Alex
