Dwell  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The amount of time that Transpector MPH 
averages data for each collected point. 
Longer dwell times will decrease noise and 
increase scan time while shorter dwell times 
will be noisier and decrease scan time.
ppAMU   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This is the number of points that 
Transpector MPH collects for each AMU. 
1 ppAMU will generate a bar chart with a data 
point at each integer AMU value. >1 ppAMU 
will generate an analog scan showing peak 
shapes.
Linear/Logarithmic . . . . . . . . . . Displays the data either in a linear or 
logarithmic scale. Since Transpector MPH 
has such a large Dynamic Range, log scale 
is often helpful for seeing low level 
contaminants.
5.5.2.1.2  How To Change Scan Parameters
On the right side of the MONITOR window is a group for controlling EMISSION and 
EM. See Figure 5-9. In this group are editable boxes that change the scan 
parameters described in section 5.5.2.1.1.
Figure 5-9  Where to change scan parameters
To turn On/Off Emission, click EMISSION. There is an indicator on the right side of 
the EMISSION button. This indicator changes color based on emission state. 
There are three colors, as shown in Figure 5-10.
