Profile Data Type - Thermo Scientific Surveyor MSQ Plus Hardware Manual

Profile Data Type

Thermo Scientific
In the profile data type, you can see the shape of the spectral peaks in the mass spectrum. See
Figure 4.
Each atomic mass unit is divided into approximately 15 sampling intervals. The intensity of
the ion current is determined at each of the sampling intervals. The intensity at each sampling
interval is displayed with the intensities connected by a continuous line. In general, the profile
data type is used when you tune and calibrate the MS detector so that you can easily see and
measure mass resolution.
