is outside of these limits, check if the rf voltage amplitude is adjusted properly
over the entire mass range).
Straight Line Mass Calibration
To initiate a straight line mass calibration, click Straight Line Calibration and Start
Auto Tune. A straight line calibration assumes a linear relationship between DAC
steps and mass. It is used for certain hardware adjustments. When you initiate
the program, a straight line calibration curve is calculated with the zero DAC step
set equal to 0 m/z and 4095th DAC step set equal to 650 m/z.
Trap Function Calibration
When the mass calibration has completed, the trap function calibration can be
performed, if an MS/MS or SIS key is installed on the SAP/Wave Board. This
calibration determines parameters which are required for the operation of ion
preparation methods such as MS/MS and SIS. It takes several minutes to
complete and the Trap Function calibration should be done each time a mass
calibration is done. If you are not using any ion preparation methods, the trap
function calibration does not have to be done. However, before you activate an
ion preparation method, you must then repeat the mass calibration with a trap
function calibration.
At the completion of Trap Function Calibration, the Event Message Window
displays the secular frequency values for the two trap function calibration points.
Nominal values are 257 and 255, respectively. These values can vary up to 4
KHz between instruments.
Set Points
x
The electron multiplier voltage and the SIS amplitude adjust factor can be set by
either changing the value in the edit box or by clicking on the up/down arrows.
The values are not set until the apply button is clicked and will be reset to their
previous values if the setpoints tab is left before clicking the apply button. If one
of the edit controls has the focus, the enter key can be pressed instead of the
apply button.
