Tune files control the following:
The source settings to be used.
Collector information, such as the identity of the beams to be acquired.
The width of the centre scan, and the identity of the beam to be used as the
centre (axial) mass.
To load a tune file, either select File, Load Tuning or press the toolbar button. The file menu lists
the four most recently used tune files, which allows them to be easily loaded.
When the magnet current specified in the new tune file is different to the old setting, the
magnet is cycled. The new map file (if applicable) and the saved collector amp zeroes will also be
loaded.
Tune files have the prefix DI or CF, depending on whether they are dual inlet or continuous flow
tune files. The exceptions are argon and bakeout tune files that are present in every project.
Caution: do not move tuning files between projects because the wrong
acquisition map information will be carried across, which may result in
the acquisition of data that cannot be processed.
Tuning files have the extension .itf and are stored in the acqudb folder within each project. Each
file contains the following information:
Acquisition map.
Centre scan file.
Source tuning (slider settings).
Collector zeroes with time stamp.
