Help for Qedit

Windows shown:

left screen part: Target and Qualifier ions, depending on graphical settings (Merge/Seperated)
right upper part: compund list
right lower part: compound detail list (all parameter are write protected)


Buttons on Compound list:

[Save]      Is used to calculate a new result if new integration events have been applied or the
            peak has been manually integrated. The compound detail list will be updated accordingly.
[Run]       Will loop through all the compounds. The wait time in between can be set from 
            [Addon] + [MS_Qedit] + [Wait_Time]. The default wait time is 2 seconds.
[Next File] Will open the next data file.
[DelManEV]  Will delete the manual integration events for the selected compound only.
[Print]     Will print the shown chromatogram and the compound details.
[Help]      Will print this help file.
[Close]     Will close Qedit and all related windows.

Columns on compound list:

1. [Ret. Time]   Shows the measured retention time of the compound peak.
2. [Compound]    Shows all or a part of the compound name.
3. [Abundance]   Shows the area or hight of the compound peak.
4. [Targ. Ion]   Shows the target signal description.
5-6.[Qaul. Ions] Shows signal description of the qualifier signals.

Column value:    Shows the parameter related to the column name.
Column Exp% :    Shows the expected (Set in calibration table) signal rations between 
                 target and qualifier signals.
Column AQct%:    Shows the actual signal ration calculated by the real areas or hight.
Column Amount:   Shows in the first second the calibrated amount. This value is then overwritten by
                 the calculated value and will be shown for the set "wait time".
                 This column shows also an indication for not satisfactory qualifier ratios.
                 (>< 20 if the trust interval was set to 20 percent.)
  

The user can either [Run] through all the compound or do a leftdblclick on a compound to show it.
The Target- or Qualifier ions can be manually integrated and the result can be saved by
selecting the [Save] button on the Compound List.
The user can also change the signal spezific integration parameter.
Topen the integration event parameter screen do a leftdblclick on the particular signal.
This option is setting signal specific events for the integraion. Earlier events may be overwritten.
The new integration events will be applied emidiatly.

(Info only: More then the shown signals will be loaded if the data analysis method calculates
an ISTD report. It might take more time to load all needed signals.)

The applied and saved integration events will be saved to the method. Manual integration 
events will be saved to the data file.
A special "pre-integration-hook" takes care to apply the manual events whenever the file
is loaded.


Common settings:

The mass defect range for an Extracted Ion Chromatogram is taken from the screen:
[Graphics] + [Signal Options...]. This value is normally Ion - 0.3 to Ion + 0.7 [M/z].
The time window for the EIC (MS Ion Extraction) is taken from the screen
 [Calibration] + [Calibration Settings...].
