Empower Tip: Review Window and the Processing Method

Recently a subscriber asked me the difference between Summarize Custom Fields and Summarize Custom Fields Incrementally, here are the simple definitions:

Summarize Custom Fields provides the overall summary in the Sample Set

Summarize Custom Fields Incrementally provides an ongoing summary thru out the sample set.

Now, let me show you the difference.

An Intersample Custom Field is created to calculate the average area for a peak in replicate injections of Standard 3.

Summarize Custom Fields Incrementally is inserted after the first injection of Standard 3 and then again after the second and third.

After processing the Sample Set, we can see the results in Review. For example, the ‘area’ for the peak and the ‘average area’ for the peak after the first injection of Standard 3 are the same since there is only one injection at this point in the Sample Set, 373469.

After the second the average is 361690.

After the third the average is 349655.

It’s that easy!
