If this is the case then you will need to change the detection type to Single Detected and save the method. Tracefinder will now be able to process the data file. This is a known issue and will be fixed in Tracefinder version 5.0.

Cause

If you encounter a problem with Tracefinder not processing some data files while other data files process ok there may be an issue with the method peak detection settings.
