Setting up an MS Scan 4-13
Full Scan function editor parameters:
Parameter Description
Start The mass at which the scan starts.
End The mass at which the scan stops.
Requirement: The Start mass must be less
than the End mass.
Use DRE Acquires data in DRE mode. Doing so
increases the dynamic range to over four
orders of magnitude. Click Use DRE if using
stronger samples which are likely to satu-
rate the detector.
Requirements:
• You must configure DRE magnification factors before
acquiring data in DRE mode; these factors must also be
reconfigured if you change any of the tuning parameters.
See also: Setting up DRE mode on page 4-15.
• When you are acquiring data in the DRE mode, scanning at
least 5 spectra per second gives better peak shape and more
accurately represents second peak intensities.
Start The retention time (in minutes) at which
the scan starts.
