6.6.1.2 Selecting Tune Masses
The most important portion of mass scale tuning is determining which masses are
to be tuned.
Transpector MPH has two different calibration standards available as options.
If Transpector MPH has the CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference installed,
continue to
Mixture Calibration Reference, on page
If Transpector MPH has the Argon Standard Calibration Reference installed,
continue to
Standard Calibration Reference, on page
If Transpector MPH does not have an optional calibration standard, there are three
different methods of tuning.
To tune using a user-supplied test mixture, continue to
Selecting Masses for Tuning with a User-Supplied Test Mix, on page
To tune using process gases, continue to
for Tuning with Process Gases, on page

6.6.1.2.1 Selecting Masses for Tuning with a CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference
The optional CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference is a calibrated leak-rate that
consists of the chemical species shown in
Table 6-4 CPM Test Mixture Composition
Gas Specie
hydrogen (1%)
helium (1%)
nitrogen (1%)
argon (balance)
krypton
xenon
100 AMU sensors use masses 2, 4, 28 and 86 for tuning
200 AMU sensors use masses 2, 4, 28, 86 and 134 for tuning
300 AMU sensors cannot be fully tuned with the CPM Test Mixture
NOTE: Use the 200 AMU sensor masses for tuning from 1-200 AMU.
