Description
Enter the required parameter file name and path in
the text box, or click Browse.
When selected, you can enter a probe ramping
method (.prf) file name and path in the text box, or
click Browse.
The magnet mass at which the scans in the function
stop.
The magnet mass at which the scans in the function
start.
The retention time (in minutes) at which the
function starts.
The retention time (in minutes) at which the
function stops.
The resolution used to determine scanning
parameters.
Specifies the ionization mode and polarity applied
during data acquisition.
Opens the FI Set up dialog box so you can specify
that an inter-scan current be applied to an field
ionization (FI) emitter.
This option is enabled only when FI+, or FI- is
Tip:
selected as the Ionization Mode.
Specifies that continuum data be collected and
stored on disk.
The duration of each scan, in seconds per decade.
The time between one scan's end and the next scan's
start, in seconds. No data are stored in this period.
Displays the total time per scan cycle, in seconds.
Displays the actual low mass of the returned data.
This is a function of the precursor ion mass and the
magnet low mass.
