Hello,
I ran into a little a problem and hope someone can help me understanding it.
I used the centWave algorithm of XCMS to detect peaks. That worked generally well. However one of the peaks I found was the one attached. For obvious reasons I looked into it. However, I found the integration indicated by the plot did not match the area given as "into" even close. I extracted the chromatogram to test it and although it looked absolutely the same the area was just different by orders of magnitude. When I tried to find out the reason I saw that rtmin and rtmax confirm the plotted integration boarders. However, scmin, scpos and scmax are all given as -1 which does not really makes sense. lmin and lmax are confirming the values in mzmin and mzmax. Could somebody please explain this to me? I just cant wrap my head around it...

Ps.: I also wonder how the rt is calculated here. It is neither the average between mzmin and mzmax nor at the highest intensity.
Thanks in advance to all the people who are contributing to this forum.
