Low resolution tuning 2-1
2 Tuning the instrument
This chapter describes how to manually tune the instrument (that is,
adjust the instrument’s parameters to achieve maximum performance)
for both low and high resolution, and gives an example of using the
AutoTune facility.
See Chapter 5 for details of how to calibrate the instrument, and
Appendix B for full details of the Tune window
Note: The figures in this chapter show indicative parameter values only.
Low resolution tuning
The purpose of low resolution tuning is to initially tune the instrument so that
it can produce well-shaped mass peaks having a resolution ≥ 1000.
Note: The theoretical shape of a perfect peak is an isosceles triangle; the
steeper the sides of the peak, the better the resolution.
To open the default instrument parameter file
1. In the MassLynx Tune window, click .
Alternative: Click File > Open.
2. In the Open dialog box, select the default instrument parameter file
(Default.ipr).
3. Click Open.
