Tuning
• QP Bias
Controls the speed of ions as they pass through the Q-pole. A typical value is 0
V without the ShieldTorch system. It may be used up to 6 V when the peak shape
and resolution are not good. This voltage should be the same as the Plate Bias to
avoid higher background.

ChemStation freezes the real-time display until you click Start. When you click
Start, the display clears and then starts again.
