Centroid Data Type
The centroid data type displays the mass spectrum as a bar graph and sums the intensities of
each set of multiple sampling intervals. This sum is displayed versus the integral center of
mass of the sampling intervals. In general, use the centroid scan data type for data acquisition
for faster scan speed. Data processing is also much faster for centroid data.
Mass/Charge Range
The TSQ Quantum XLS and TSQ Quantum GC mass spectrometers can operate in a
mass/charge range of 10 to 3000 Da.
