resolution of Quadrupole 1 by itself. This resolution tunes the system at 100 and
1000 amu/s scan rates. You can tune the resolution during a lens tune or you can tune the
resolution by itself.

Configuring Q1 Resolution
a.
Mass
—Click in this box to select the ion to be used for tuning.
b.
Peak Width
—Enter the target peak width.
c.
Measure at %
—Click in this box to select the location on the peak where you want
to measure the target peak width.

—Measures the width at 50% of the peak height.
d.
Lens Tune Relation
—Click in this box to set the occurrence of the resolution tune
parameters before or after a lens tune.
•
Before and After
—Uses the same resolution parameters before and after a lens
tune.
•
Before
—Uses the resolution parameters before a lens tune.
•
After
—Uses the resolution parameters after a lens tune.
3. Select the
Q3 Lenses
tab to configure the Q3 lenses. You must select the
Show Advanced
Settings
check box to access this tab. The lens tune is the main portion of the tune
algorithm. In this section you can choose which components to tune, which mass to
optimize for the tune, what the range of allowed values are, how to move through the
range, how much the signal must change for a new value to be selected, and what (if
anything) must be done about the resolution of the peak and any errors that occur.
Note
Changing the Q1 lenses or resolution affects the Q3 lenses and resolution.
