Tuning the Clarus MS

After determining that no leaks exist and before acquiring data, you may need to check
the mass spectrometer tuning conditions and, if necessary, modify one or more of the
tuning parameters. Clarus MS can be tuned either manually or automatically from the
Tune window.
The left side of the page holds the tuning parameters for a selected region of the mass
spectrometer. You can change the region by selecting an item from the Window menu,
or by pressing one of the buttons on the bottom-left of the Tune page.
The panel displayed in the top right-center of the Tune page displays the tune peak
information and instrument pressure information.
The tune peak display is located on the right side of the screen and allows you to view
up to four masses. The corresponding check boxes located above the peaks allow you
to control each peak display. Any one of the tune peaks can be zoomed so that it
occupies the entire tune peak area. When a tune peak has been zoomed, the controls for
the mass and span for that peak are displayed at the top of the display window. This
enables you to display the pressure information while having control over the peak
display.
