Use table analysis tools
Analyze data using the tools available on the table page.
The following sections will demonstrate the various tools which can be used to analyze data on the table page.
Note
The following tools are also available on the graph and table page.
Add a column
To add a column to the table page, select the Add Column tool in the Table toolbar on the left. The new column will automatically be created on the far right of the display, and the width of the existing columns will be adjusted so that all columns have equal width.
Tip
Chemvue can support a maximum of five columns in a single display. When this number of columns is reached, the Add Column button will be grayed out to indicate that no more columns can be added.
Remove a column
To remove a column from the table:
- Select the header of the column you wish to delete. This should cause the header to darken, indicating it is selected.
- Select the Remove Column tool on the table toolbar.
Show statistics of a run
Various statistics about the currently selected run of data can be calculated and shown at the bottom of the Table display. To make this data visible, select the Statistics tool in the toolbar, then select the boxes next to the names of the statistics you wish to display. This will cause the chosen statistics to appear in new rows at the bottom of the table. Rather than having a numerical index, these rows will have symbols associated with the corresponding statistic.
The statistics available in the Table display, along with their corresponding labels, are given by the table below.
Statistic | Label | Description |
---|---|---|
Minimum | Min. | The lowest value of any data point in the selected run. |
Maximum | Max. | The highest value of any data point in the selected run. |
Average | Mean | The average value of all data points on the selected run. |
Standard deviation | σ | The range above and below the average that would capture 68% of your data set. |
Count | n | The total number of data points on the selected run. |

Follow these steps to export data from the Table display as a CSV (comma separated values) file. The resulting file can be opened with a spreadsheet app, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
- Select Export Data from the toolbar.
- Using your device's file explorer, navigate to the location where you would like the file to be saved.
- Enter a name for your CSV file, then save the file.
