5975/5977 Series MSD Operating Manual 3
About This 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.
