Peak component

The peak component is the charcoal series with the background removed. It may be calculated as a simple difference (residuals, or series-background) or as a ratio (series/background).

Select the desired method from the pop-up menu. To view the data without the peak component (i.e., the series with the fitted background), leave the default "Disabled" setting on the pop-up menu.
