The transient length is set appropriately for each of these
modes.

Targeted MS/MS mode (Q-TOF only)
In this mode you specify the precursor ion that you want the
quadrupole to select and pass through to the collision cell for
fragmentation. The TOF portion of the instrument then passes
all the product ions through to the detector, and you select the
ion you want to look at in the spectrum produced by the TOF.
