This procedure assumes that the instrument is switching from EI to CI mode,
and will be PCI tuned using methane after the system is stable.
Procedure
1 Follow the instructions for the EI MS pumpdown. (See “To Pumpdown the
MS” on page 120.)
After the software prompts you to turn on the GC/MS interface heater and
GC oven, perform the following steps.
2 Load a PCI tune file by clicking on the Files and Report tab, then click Load in
the Tune File area. Select a PCI tune file, and click OK. Always start up and
verify system performance in PCI mode before switching to NCI.
