Main boards
Two main boards are mounted on the outer side of the electronics module. The
boards are identical except that main board 1 carries the log amplifier for the
detector signal and the EMV power supply.
The main boards are mounted on the outer side of the electronics module.
They perform these functions:
• Receive and decode digital instructions from the LAN/MS control card.
• Send digital information to the LAN/MS control card.
• Generate voltages for the ion source lenses and the collision cell.
• Generate control signals for filament selection, filament emission current,
and electron energy. Generate control signals for quadrupole RF drive,
quad frequency adjustment, DC polarity selection, and all detector voltages.
