Save Current Mass Spec Parameters As - This icon is used to save the parameters
with a different name if the settings have been changed but the functionality on the
instrument is unknown. Perhaps adjusting a certain setting will create different results such
as in a testing scenario then this file can be accessed in future runs, if desired.
The Mass Spectrometer ‘default’ settings can always be accessed by clicking the icon
Open Mass Spec Parameters and selecting the original or default parameters from the
database.
•
Delete Current Mass Spec Parameters
- This option will delete the currently
opened table and the original mass spectrometer parameters will be retrieved from the
database as seen by the name in the blue bar under the mini toolbar.
•
Refresh Values in Auto Calibration - This functionality is only available when on
the MS Calibrations tab and the option Auto is checked. When clicked the software will
send a response request to the instrument to update the calibration data in the Auto
Calibration Data grid. The information in the Auto table is not actively updated. Using the
update button will force the software to retrieve the most current data from the Torion T-9.
If
Auto is checked then the auto calibration data will be used when calculating calibration
data. If Manual is check then the numbers entered for Manual Calibration Data will be used
when calculating the calibration data.
•
Copy Values from Auto Calibration to Manual Calibration - When this option is
selected a Verify popup will display requiring a response from the user. If Yes is selected
the calibration data in the auto calibration will be copied to the Manual Calibration Data
grid. If responding No the popup will close and no data will be copied.

MS Parameters Tab
The settings or parameters on the MS Parameters tab are not included in the method because
they are specific to the instrument. Methods can be transferred between instruments while the Mass
Spectrometer settings are specific to one instrument. The settings from one instrument should not
be loaded onto a different instrument as each has its own individual settings.
