About This Manual
5975/5977 Series MSD Operation Manual
This manual contains information for operating and
maintaining the Agilent 5975 through 5977 series of MSD with
OpenLAB CDS software. Agilent OpenLAB CDS is a new
operating system for Agilent instruments.
The Agilent 5977B Series Mass Selective Detector (MSD) is the
base instrument described in this manual. Agilent instruments
manufactured prior to the 5977B share many features and
hardware with this new instrument. Where older Agilent
models differ from the 5977B, that difference is usually noted.
Please refer to the operating and maintenance documentation
that was delivered with your instrument if other hardware
differences are found.
