Steps to manually re-scale the Y-axis in the PQ Kit template

Note, Residual graphs are not automatically set to scale of the data entered.  As such, the Y-axis default settings may be out of ratio for the data values entered.  By manually re-scaling the Y-axis, it will reflect your values for a more effective visual ratio.  

Please use the following instructions to format and scale the Y-axis of graphs in the Chemical Solutions HPLC PQ Kit's Excel template:

1. In the detector linearity tab of the PQ RID spreadsheet, right click on the detector linearity residual graph. ---
  1. This will open a tab of options.  Click "Format Plot Area."
    ---
  2. This opens a new grey tab to the right of the screen, labeled, "Format Plot Area."  Click the blue arrow next to the "Plot Area Options."
    --
  3.  Next, click the 'Graph' icon.
    --
  4. This will open a list under “Plot Area Options.” click the "Vertical (Value) Axis" option.
    ---
  5. This will open a tab to “Axis Options.” Then Check “Reset” on both the Minimum and Maximum Bounds.
    ---
  6. Then check “Reset” on both the Major and Minor Units.
    ---
  7. Your new graph should now be to scale and display all data points.
