NOTE: The calibration you specify on the PSD Acquisition
Settings control page is used to determine the values for
α , β , and γ needed for the PSD calibration equation
(described on page 7-8). The calibration you specified on
the Instrument Settings control page in step 4 is used to
determine the value for
t
p
(precursor ion flight time)
needed for the PSD calibration equation.
NOTE: If default PSD calibration yields acceptable
mass accuracy for your application, an external
calibration is not required.
NOTE: PSD .CAL files are named with the same
extension as reflector or linear .CAL files. If you select a
reflector or linear .CAL file when in PSD mode, an error
message is generated.
