Scan Parameters
This chapter describes some of the scan parameter settings that you set in the TSQ Endura or
TSQ Quantiva Tune application.
Scan Types
The TSQ Endura and TSQ Quantiva mass spectrometers operate in a variety of scan types.
The most common can be divided into two categories: single mass spectrometry (MS) scan
types and MS/MS scan types. The scan types in each category are as follows:
• MS scan types: full scan (Q1), full scan (Q3), selected ion monitoring (SIM) scan (Q1),
and SIM scan (Q3)
• MS/MS scan types: product ion scan, precursor ion scan, neutral loss scan, and selected
reaction monitoring (SRM) scan type
The available modes depend on the number and type of rod assemblies and the voltages
applied to the rod assemblies.
The mass analyzers have three rod assemblies.

The first and third rod assemblies, Q1 and Q3,
are quadrupoles, and the second rod assembly, Q2, is a square-profile quadrupole.
Rod assemblies can operate in either of two capacities:
• As ion transmission devices
• As mass analyzers

A rod assembly is a regular array of metal rods. See “Mass Analyzers” on page 36.
