The functional group browser provides direct analysis of a particular
frequency in your IR or RAMAN spectrum. A list of best matching functional
group will be derived from all available functional group definitions
and shown.
The functional group browser is available
for improving interpretation results after performing
spectrum analysis.
You may add functional groups to your current interpretation result,
because the automatic routine may have missed some required functional
groups.
for a quick overview of suggested functional groups
at a particular frequency in your spectrum. In this case the browser is
used like an online electronic functional group catalog.
The analyzed spectrum is shown in the upper part of the browser. In
the tables below, suggested functional groups as well as passed and failed
interpretation rules of the active functional group are listed. For a
detailed description on the spectrum view functions, please refer to the
chapter "Spectrum
View Functions".
Additionally, a black vertical line marks the investigated frequency
in the spectrum. The line can be moved with drag and drop to the frequency
you are interested in. The list of suggested functional groups will be
updated accordingly. The list is sorted by quality to provide the best
match on top of the list.
