Unknown Analysis - GCMS Masshunter

Question

Hi, 
 I used unknown analysis software to do deconvolution on the peaks in the chromatogram. On the screen, I could zoom into the specific peak on the chromatogram and I could see the two convoluted peaks in that one specific peak (which I am really impressed). However, when using Agilent's built-in report template, I had trouble printing that zoomed-in version onto my report. 
 I wonder if this has to do with 
 1) my report template (do I need to create a new report template? If so, how do I go about it? ) 
 or 
 2) it is not possible at all as the software does not have such capability. 
 Thank you for the help.

Hello hts123 , 
 You can print a zoomed in region in your UA report, but with Report Builder templates this will be the only region visible. The setting is found in the Report Method editor on the Graphic settings tab. Click on the Fixed range graphics settings... and you can specify a Min and Max for both X and Y for the sample chromatogram. 
 
 This would produce the following output on the Sample Chromatogram page. 
 
 If you wanted to show multiple ranges, or the full chromatogram and then some zoomed in ranges, the only option would be to try a Python based report. This would require a fair amount of programming and diving into the SDK, but it would be possible. Take a look at the discussion linked below if you want to investigate that option.
