Tip #215: Removing Extract Choices with 3D Data in Empower

This tip discusses how to remove Extract Choices when working with 3D data in the Review window.

When working with 3D data, such as with a PDA or QDa, the Extract Choices list cannot be cleared. Every time you extract a wavelength or a mass, it adds to the list. This tip describes how you can clear the list by copying preferences from a project without any extracted wavelengths or masses to the project of interest.

ENVIRONMENT

• Empower

PROCEDURE

1. In the project of interest, you can see that the Extract Choices list has several entries. 254 and MAX Plot are present by default. However, 270 and 280 are not defaults.
   
   
    
2. In the Configuration Manager window, select "Copy Preferences" from the View menu.
   
   
    
3. Select the source project from the list, select the required destination "Users" and "Projects", and then click OK.
   
   
    
4. Reopen the project of interest and take a channel of data into review. The Extract Choices list has been cleared.
