To help you use the Agilent Triple Quadrupole LC/MS for these
applications, the software lets you do these tasks in a single
window with the Data Acquisition Program:
Prepare the instrument
• Start and stop the instruments from the software
• Download settings to the Agilent 1260 or 1290 Infinity LC
and the Agilent 6400 Series Triple Quadrupole mass
spectrometer in real time to control the instrument
• Evaluate if the MS parameters are within the limits to
produce the specified mass accuracy and resolution with
a Checktune report
• Optimize MS parameters automatically (Autotune) or
manually through Agilent tuning programs and print an
Autotune report
• Monitor the actual conditions of the instrument
• View the real-time plot for chromatograms and instrument
parameters (both UV/Vis and MS) and print a real-time plot
report
• View the centroided line spectrum of a peak or the mass
range profile spectrum of a peak in real time
Set up acquisition methods
• Enter and save parameter values for all LC modules and the
MS to an acquisition method
• Select and label the total ion chromatograms or extracted ion
chromatograms that you want to appear in the real-time plot
• Set up time segments for each scan type and analysis where
parameters change with the time segment or with the scans
within the time segment
• Print an acquisition method report
