Exercise 3 – Create a Triggered Dynamic MRM acquisition method
Task 1. Create a Triggered Dynamic MRM method from a Dynamic MRM method manually

5 Select the transitions that are the 
Trigger transitions and set the 
trigger conditions.
a For each compound, mark the Trigger 
check box if it is a Trigger transition.
b (optional) Mark a second Trigger 
transition.
c Enter the Threshold value for each 
Trigger transition.
d Enter the Trigger Entrance for each 
Trigger transition.
e Enter the Trigger Delay for each 
Trigger transition.
f Enter the Trigger Window for each 
Trigger transition.
• For each compound, you can have 
two Trigger transitions.
• If the Trigger transition has an 
abundance over the Threshold, 
then that triggering condition is 
met.
• By default, the Trigger Entrance, 
the Trigger Delay and the Trigger 
Window are set to 0. If these 
values are 0, then these triggering 
conditions are not enabled.
• The threshold is established when 
the method is updated using a data 
file. The other values are also 
selected based on results. You must 
collect data at different settings to 
establish what works best. These 
values are very important to the 
success of the method.
