Waters Autospec Premier - Scanning Techniques; Function Lists and the MS Method Editor

Function lists and the MS method editor 3-1
3 Scanning techniques
This chapter describes function lists, the MS method editor, the
available scanning techniques, and selected ion recording (SIR)
experiments. An example of how to set up the instrument to acquire
voltage selected ion recording (VSIR) data (the most sensitive data
acquisition mode), using PFK as a reference sample also appears.
Function lists and the MS method editor
A function list contains the function(s) used by the mass spectrometer to scan
the instrument during an acquisition; it is created using the MS method
editor, which you open by clicking the MassLynx window’s MS method icon. A
function list can be a mixture of different scanning techniques that run
sequentially during an acquisition.
