Set up Sample Calibration
The software can automatically schedule and execute the external auto calibration while samples
are being acquired in batch mode. This ensures good mass accuracy is maintained throughout
the acquisition.
If the CDS is not configured, calibration is done using an autosampler and users must supply the
calibration method (*.dam) and the vial position of the calibrant sample.
1. In the Batch Editor, click the Calibrate tab.
Note: AB SCIEX recommends using a new .wiff file for each sample.
Tip! Fill Down and Auto Increment options are available in the right-click
menu after a single column heading or several rows in a column are
selected.
Tip! It is also possible to automatically fill in the samples from the
Locations tab by clicking on the first and last vial within a set with the Shift
key held down. These vials appear as red circles. On the Locations tab,
multiple injections from the same vial can be done by holding down the Ctrl
key while clicking the vial location. The red circle turns green.
