Task 2. Set up the signal for quantification
In this exercise, you add an extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) to the list of
available signals for the method. Then you add this EIC to the Signal Details,
so you can automatically load and integrate signals for the rest of the caffeine
standards.
Steps
1 Open the data file CAFCAL01.D,
located in the MSDEMO folder.
2 Extract the major ion of caffeine.
3 Display the Calibration Toolset.
