Automatic
calibration for
Mariner data
• Matches all peaks that meet the specified
Reference Matching criteria. If the number of
peaks matched is greater than or equal to the
specified Minimum Number of Peaks to Match,
and the resulting fit errors are less than or equal to
the specified Max Outlier Error, calibration is
successful.
• If any points exceed the specified Max Outlier
Error, the software eliminates the outliers,
one-by-one, worst to best, until all points are
within the specified Max Outlier Error.
If the number of matching peaks falls below the
Minimum Number of Peaks to Match when the
software eliminates an outlier, the calibration fails.
The Automatic Calibration function in Data Explorer is useful
for quickly calibrating all spectra in a Mariner data file, after
you prepare automatic calibration settings. You use the
Automatic Calibration function in Data Explorer to prepare
Automatic Calibration settings (contain reference masses and
other matching information) and to calibrate the data.
You can also use the Automatic Calibration function in Data
Explorer to prepare Automatic Calibration settings (contain
reference masses and other matching information) for use by
the Mariner Sequence Control Panel (described in the Mariner
Workstation Version 4.0 Supplement). You can save a .SET
file that contains the settings, and specify the .SET file in the
Sequence Control Panel. If you create and specify a macro to
automatically calibrate, the Sequence Control Panel can use
the calibration settings contained in the .SET file.
