TOF and Q-TOF acquisition parameters
The Acquisition tab in Figure 33 contains acquisition
parameters that you can change with time segments.
The acquisition parameters you choose depend on what you are
trying to accomplish:
• If you want to pass all ions in a specified mass range through
the instrument with no fragmentation in the collision cell,
click MS (Seg) mode. This mode is automatically chosen for a
TOF instrument.
• If you don't know what you are looking for and must set up
boundary parameters for the precursor ion list, click Auto
MS/MS (Seg) mode.
• If you know the compounds and hence the precursor ions you
are looking for, click Targeted MS/MS (Seg) mode.
