System operation
The software automatically controls solvent and sample delivery during auto-tuning,
auto-calibration, and method development. The selector valve systematically makes connections
between the components of the IntelliStart fluidics system to carry out operations processed by the
software.
You can specify the configuration of the IntelliStart fluidics system in the Instrument console where
you edit the parameters, frequency, and extent of the automation. See the mass spectrometer's
online Help for further details on IntelliStart software and operation of the solvent delivery system.

Ion optics
The mass spectrometer's ion optics operate as follows:
1.
Samples from the LC or Intellistart fluidics system are introduced at atmospheric pressure
into the ionization source.
2.
The ions pass through the sample cone into the vacuum system.
3.
The ions pass through the transfer optics (the ion guide) to the first quadrupole, where they
can be filtered according to their mass-to-charge ratios.
