Abstract

A mini-plot is generated using the actual raw measurement data, and gives a preview of a full-sized plot which is displayed when a user expresses interest in the mini-plot. In some embodiments, the mini-plot is sufficiently resolved to provide the user with graphical information about the measurement data. In some embodiments, the mini-plot is updated upon receiving new measurement data from an ongoing experiment. In some embodiments, the mini-plot is a mini-chromatogram. In some embodiments, the mini-plot is displayed in a table along with textual and/or numerical measurement data for an experiment (e.g., in listing textual and/or numerical chromatography data).
