Displays the value of the existing Emission current of the spectrom-
eter Ion Source and allows for emission current adjustment. The
emission current parameter tunes the leak detector, maximizing the
leak detector output for a peak helium signal.
Typical Emission current values range from 0.6 mA to 1.2 mA.
Displays the current ion voltage value of the spectrometer Ion
Source. The ion voltage parameter tunes the leak detector, maxi-
mizing the leak detector output for a peak helium signal.
Typical ion voltage values range from 250 VDC to 270 VDC. The
ion voltage value is automatically adjusted and set during the full
calibration routine.
