Transpector MPH Operating Manual
EM Voltage  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The voltage of the EM (if equipped). The 
minimum voltage for the EM is 600 V. The 
maximum voltage for the EM is 2000 V. The 
default voltage for the EM is 800 V. Changing 
this value will impact the gain of the Electron 
Multiplier. This is useful only when trying to 
resolve a peak from the noise floor. EM 
voltage should be changed only by 
experienced operators.
ROD POLARITY  . . . . . . . . . . . . Defines the polarity of the Quadrupole rods. 
In the factory, Rod Polarity is determined for 
each individual Transpector MPH to produce 
optimum tune quality. Do not alter this setting 
unless directed by INFICON.
SENSOR TYPE  . . . . . . . . . . . . . Defines whether the sensor is equipped with 
an EM/FC combination or an FC only 
detector. Do not alter this setting unless 
directed by INFICON.
EMISSION CURRENT . . . . . . . . The Emission Current affects the current at 
the filament in the ion source. This has been 
optimized in the factory for each individual 
Transpector MPH to produce optimum tune 
quality. Do not alter this setting unless 
directed by INFICON.
FOCUS Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . Changes the voltage of the focus plates 
which generate an ion beam from the ion 
source. This has been optimized in the 
factory for each individual Transpector MPH 
to produce optimum tune quality. Do not alter 
this setting unless directed by INFICON.
FILAMENT NUMBER. . . . . . . . . Transpector MPH has dual filaments. This 
allows for switching from one filament to the 
other.
11 MARKERS button and displayed marker—MARKERS turns on and off the 
markers. The marker consists of two components: a vertical one that 
represents the highest intensity of the displayed peak and a horizontal one that 
indicates 0.9 AMU width at 10% peak height.
12 CAL GAS button—CAL GAS will open the calibration gas if installed 
(Only used on HPR systems).
13 SUBMIT button—SUBMIT submits the changes made to Transpector MPH 
tune into the Transpector MPH Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) in the 
Transpector MPH electronics box. SUBMIT must be clicked to save the 
changes made on the Tune window.
