Requirement:

See "Waters contact information" on page
Analog channels are typically used to collect data from external units such as
FID detectors.
A reading is made from the external channel at the end of each scan and
stored with the data for that scan. The resolution of the chromatography for
an analog channel therefore depends on the scan speed used to acquire the
mass spectrometry data.
You can acquire up to eight channels of analog data. These are stored with the
data acquired from the mass spectrometer.
Although eight channel inputs are available, the MassLynx software can only
control four of them.
To acquire data from analog channels using MassLynx software
1. In the MS method editor, click Options > Analog Data.
2. In Analog Data dialog box, select the box(es) for the required analog
channel(s).
