6.6.1.2 Selecting Tune Masses
The most important portion of mass scale tuning is determining which masses are
to be tuned.
Transpector MPH has two different calibration standards available as options.
 If Transpector MPH has the CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference installed,
continue to
section 6.6.1.2.1, Selecting Masses for Tuning with a CPM Test
Mixture Calibration Reference, on page 6-16 .
 If Transpector MPH has the Argon Standard Calibration Reference installed,
continue to
section 6.6.1.2.2, Selecting Masses for Tuning with an Argon
Standard Calibration Reference, on page 6-17 .
If Transpector MPH does not have an optional calibration standard, there are three
different methods of tuning.
 To tune using a user-supplied test mixture, continue to section 6.6.1.2.3,
Selecting Masses for Tuning with a User-Supplied Test Mix, on page 6-17 .
 To tune using process gases, continue to section 6.6.1.2.4, Selecting Masses
for Tuning with Process Gases, on page 6-17 .
 To tune with background gases, continue to section 6.6.1.2.5, Tuning with
Background Gases, on page 6-18 .
6.6.1.2.1 Selecting Masses for Tuning with a CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference
The optional CPM Test Mixture Calibration Reference is a calibrated leak-rate that
consists of the chemical species shown in
Table 6-4 .
 100 AMU sensors use masses 2, 4, 28 and 86 for tuning
 200 AMU sensors use masses 2, 4, 28, 86 and 134 for tuning
 300 AMU sensors cannot be fully tuned with the CPM Test Mixture
NOTE: Use the 200 AMU sensor masses for tuning from 1-200 AMU.
Another calibration reference will be required to tune the
200-300 AMU mass range.
