Spectrum Contour Files

Manage Contour Files in Project

The purpose of this dialog is to allow the user to manage contour files. A contour file stores contours calculated at specified contour levels in a specified region of a spectrum, as an alternative to calculating contours on the fly. You cannot pick peaks using contour files but after peaks have been picked, contour files are a reasonable alternative to contours for large 3D and 4D data sets, since the spectrum data does not need to be read from disk.

This dialog lists the contour files that are in the project. To create a new contour file click on the “Create New File” button and to add a contour file that already exists on disk (e.g. from another project) then click on the “Find Existing File” button.

When a contour file is created for a spectrum then by default it is used to display contours rather than having them calculated on the fly. This can be changed in the main Spectra dialog in the Display Options tab.
