Starting data acquisition 4-1
4 Acquiring data
This chapter describes how to start data acquisition (from both the Tune
window and MassLynx window), and how to monitor, stop, or pause data
acquisition. Instrument calibration is also described for various types of
experiment.
Starting data acquisition
Requirement: Before acquiring data, you must tune the instrument ensure a
beam is visible in the Tune window peak display.
See Chapter 2 and Appendix D for further details.
There are two ways to start data acquisition:
• From the Tune window – single sample acquisition only.
• From the MassLynx window – multiple sample acquisition.
Starting an Acquisition from the Tune window
You can start and stop data acquisition from the Tune window. You can run a
single sample acquisition only, no experiment file is created.
The following limitations also apply:
• You cannot acquire SIR data. SIR techniques require that the
instrument be calibrated before starting the acquisition, this must be
done through the sample list.
