To Set Analyzer Temperatures from the
Instrument Control View
MSD ion source and Quad temperatures are stored in the current tune (*.u) file.
When a method is loaded, the setpoints in the tune file associated with that
method are downloaded automatically.
Procedure
1 In Instrument Control view, select MS Temperatures from the Instrument
menu. (See Figure 37.)
2 Enter the MS Source and MS Quad (mass filter) temperatures in the Setpoint
and Limit fields. (See Table 9.)
The GC/MSD interface, ion source, and quadrupole heated zones interact.
The analyzer heaters may not be able to accurately control temperatures if
the setpoint for one zone is much different from that of an adjacent zone.
