Hardware Profiles and Projects

Hardware Profiles

A hardware profile tells the software what instrument 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, ensure that the syring 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 configuring devices, refer to the Peripheral Devices Setup Guide. For a list
of the supported devices, refer to the Software Installation Guide for the Analyst
