3. In the Compound list, select FC43 Pos. Ions. This automatically selects the positively
charged FC-43 ions to be used for automatic tuning and calibrating.
4. To start the automatic tuning and calibration procedure, click Start.
The Status box displays real-time messages about the system tune and calibration so that
you can monitor the progress of each subprocedure. After a subprocedure is complete, the
system reports the result (for example, whether it passed or failed). At the end of the
entire procedure, it displays a summary.
• If errors occur during the automatic tuning and calibration procedure, go to step 5.
• If the automatic tuning and calibration procedure finishes without errors, go
to step 6.
5. If errors occur during the automatic tuning and calibration procedure, restore the
previous mass spectrometer device settings and perform the tuning and calibration
procedure again by completing the following steps:
a. To restore the prior tuning and calibration settings, click Undo.
b. To reload the prior tuning and calibration settings to the mass spectrometer, click
Accept.
c. Troubleshoot and correct the problem that caused the tuning and calibration
procedure to fail. See “Tuning Issues” on page 128.
d. Go to step 4 and restart the tuning and calibration procedure.
Figure 36 shows a typical parameter optimization plot.
