To change from Standby to On
To change from Standby to On
Use this procedure when the Q-TOF LC/MS is in Standby mode and you need
to bring it into the On mode.
Before you begin, check that:
• The Q-TOF LC/MS is in Standby mode
• In the Data Acquisition program, click On.
You can only activate the Standby mode or On mode if the ion source is
mounted and closed. You can now select parameters for your measurement.
The instrument is now in the On mode.
To change from On to Standby
Put the Q-TOF LC/MS in Standby mode when you have completed your
analysis of samples.
Before you begin, check that:
• You have completed tuning and data acquisition and you have saved all
data as needed (described in later chapters).
• In the Data Acquisition program, click Standby.
The drying gas flow, drying gas temperature, nebulizer pressure, vaporizer
temperature, and sheath gas temperature are reduced when the instrument
is in Standby mode. The spray chamber high voltages are turned off in
Standby mode. Voltages in the flight tube remain On in Standby mode to
maintain stable operating voltages. The mass spectrometer stops generating
spectra.
The system is now in Standby mode.
