I was testing out my new AM1DDerivative analysis block and came across an interesting sight when displaying it in AMScanView. Currently, all our normalizations go from 0 to 1, which is fine and dandy for all of our scans that almost certainly are greater than zero. However, a derivative will very often have negative values but now the zero point is mapped no longer mapped to zero. I feel this will confuse users when they add a derivative to see the minimum (ie: lower negative number) as zero. How should we handle setting normalization values when some data sources contain negative values?
