Peakfinder

The peakfinder settings determine which peaks get fitted and at which points the spectra are sliced.

Height Threshold

The height of a peak is defined by its maximum intensity. The height threshold gives the minimal peak height in percentages of the maximum intensity of the whole spectra.

Prominence Threshold

The prominence of a peak is the minimal distance one has to go down before reaching a higher peak. Intuitively this describes how much a peak stands out. The prominence threshold gives the minimal prominence in percentages of the maximum intensity of the whole spectra.

Background Factor

The minimal peak height needs to be higher than the background factor times the intensity at the border of the spectrum window.

Cutoff Prominence

For fitting the spectrum is cutoff at a local minima between the edge peak and the border of the spectrum window. The cutoff prominence determines the minimal prominence of this minima in percentages of the maximal intensity.

Cutoff Height

For fitting the spectrum is cutoff at a local minima between the edge peak and the border of the spectrum window. The cutoff height determines the maximal height of this minima in percentages of the edge peak's height.
