4-14 Acquiring Data
Types of data acquisition
In the Full Scan Function Editor, the Data parameter specifies the types of
data to be collected and stored on disk:
• Centroid data: MassLynx stores data as centroid intensity data and it
stores mass-assigned peaks in a “stick” spectrum. MassLynx stores
centroid data for each scan.
End The retention time (in minutes) at which
the scan stops.
Use Probe
Ramping Method
When selected, you can enter the name of a
Probe Ramp Method file (*.prf) in the adja-
cent text box; alternatively, click Browse to
search for a file.
Restriction: Use the probe ramping method
only when samples are introduced by Direct
Insertion (DI) or Desorption Chemical
Ionization (DCI) probe.
