Abstract
Systems and methods for correlating and displaying the data produced by GC and MS. The data are correlated by representing MS data in the time domain, and GC and MS data are simultaneously displayed. When a particular mass spectrum is extracted, a search engine searches libraries for components with matching mass spectra. Further features provide for manipulation of the display, extraction of ion signals, subtraction of spectra from the display, removal of ions from the display, performing ion interference analysis, filtering the displayed data based on various criteria, transferring MS data to an active parameter data file, and transferring MS data to libraries.
