Create a Time Series analysis

You can create a Time Series analysis by selecting and opening a group of tagged measurements. Tags help filter relevant data, and all measurements with the same tag can be selected and opened together to visualize changes over time in the Time Series view.

Create a time series analysis by selecting a set of measurements and opening them in time series.

You can easily filter your measurements by using tags. If your desired measurements all share the same tag, you can search for that tag and then select all the measurements to create the time series analysis. The Tag tile in workflows can automatically tag every measurement your workflow collects.

After filtering the measurement list, select one measurement and then press CTRL+A to select all measurements.

Use the tags keyword to limit your search terms to only tags.

To create a time series analysis 

  1. Select a set of measurements to view in time series.

    With one measurement selected, hold SHIFT and click to select a group of measurements or press CTRL+A to select all measurements.

  2. Right-click the measurements and select Open in Time Series.

Process time series data

As with a standard measurement, you can process time series data to correct baselines or account for ATR measurements, perform spectral math, smooth data, and more. When you apply a processing operation in a time series analysis, the operation is applied to all spectra at once. For example, performing Auto Baseline Correct will correct the baseline of every spectrum in the analysis.

Select an option from the Display menu to convert all spectra to that display format. For instance, if your analysis contains a mix of measurements using %transmittance units and absorbance units, selecting Display > Absorbance ensures that they all use absorbance units.

You can view or remove past processing operations in the History tab.
