First Claim
1. A method of displaying a plurality of data related to a plurality of spectra on a computer system, the computer system including a display and a memory, the method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving a plurality of data related to a first spectrum and a plurality of data related to a second spectrum from the plurality of spectra from the memory;
displaying a user-selected set of data from the plurality of data related to the first spectrum including a spectrum trace for the first spectrum, in a first row of a spreadsheet on the display;
displaying a user-selected set of data from the plurality of data related to the second spectra including a spectrum trace for the second spectrum, in a second row of the spreadsheet on the display.

Abstract
A method for graphically forming a difference spectrum from a sample spectrum and a reference spectrum on a computer system includes displaying an initial difference spectrum on the display the initial difference spectrum being equal to the sample spectrum, selecting a data point in the initial difference spectrum, having an associated wave number, with a relative pointing device on the display, moving the data point a measurable amount on the display with the relative pointing device, determining a scaling factor in response to the measurable amount and to a data point in the reference spectrum having the same associated wave number, scaling each data point in the reference spectrum by the scaling factor to form a scaled reference spectrum, determining the difference spectrum between the sample spectrum and the scaled reference spectrum, and displaying at least a portion of the difference spectrum on the display.
