When the Xcalibur data system does not control the autosampler you are using, Xcalibur
selects the LTQ Series MS detector as the start instrument for a sequence run. When you are
ready to inject a set of samples, ensure that the LTQ Series MS detector is not listed as the
start instrument in Xcalibur.
The LTQ Series family of MS detectors consists of the LCQ Fleet, LXQ, LTQ, and LTQ XL
MS detectors.
