Fast Chromatogram Viewer : View Chromatogram files with the SCF, ABI, AB1 and AB format, trim the ends, and configure several settings using this simple app
Fast Chromatogram Viewer is a simple-to-use Windows program designed to display the content of Chromatogram files, namely those with the SCF, ABI, AB1, AB extension. It comes loaded with a few configuration settings that should be easy to figure out, regardless of your previous level of experience with such tools.
Hassle-free installer and simplistic GUI
The entire setup operation takes little time and effort. As far as the interface is concerned, Fast Chromatogram Viewer is packed in a seemingly outdated window with a neatly organized layout, where you can use the Explorer-based folder structure to navigate directories and open Chromatogram files.
Examine Chromatogram files and configure settings
A graphical representation is shown on the bottom part of the screen, which can be easily navigated by moving a slider and zooming in and out. It is possible to trim the ends by setting the number and threshold for the section to keep, along with the window length and trimmed ends color.
Change some program options easily
Fast Chromatogram Viewer can be asked to automatically run at every Windows boot until further notice, as well as to minimize to the system tray area. You can also disable skins, adjust the main frame's opacity, and turn off the embedded file system.
Evaluation and conclusion
There were no stability problems in our tests, so the program did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It runs on low CPU and RAM, so it doesn't affect the overall performance of the PC. On the other hand, Fast Chromatogram Viewer has not been updated for a pretty long time. Nevertheless, the app gets the job done.
