Hardware Profiles
A hardware profile tells the software which mass spectrometer and devices to use, and how the
instrument and the devices are configured and connected to the computer.
Each hardware profile must include a mass spectrometer. Before creating an acquisition method,
make sure that all devices used in the method are included in the hardware profile. In the
configuration options for the mass spectrometer, make sure that the syringe pump is enabled if it
will be used during acquisition.
The devices configured in the active hardware profile and selected in the Add/Remove Device
Method dialog appear as icons in the Acquisition Method Browser pane. Only devices included in
the active hardware profile can be used to create acquisition methods.
For information about setting up the physical connections to the devices, refer to the Peripheral
Devices Setup Guide. For a list of the supported devices, refer to the Software Installation Guide
®
for the Analyst
software.
