How to Use

To normalize your data by peak:

  1. Upload data and select the spectra to be processed.
  2. Navigate to the sidebar and turn on the “Normalization” toggle.
  3. Select “Normalize by peak” from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click “Process” to update the display.

Behavior

Normalizing by peak is good for understanding and comparing peak structure. This method rescales each data point so that the highest peak has an intensity of 1. Mathematically, the normalized intensity is calculated as follows:

\[S(x)=\frac{I(x)}{I_{\text{max}}}\]

where $I_{\text{max}}$ is the peak intensity for a given spectrum.
