Current nebulizer gas pressure
– Displays the current nebulizer set gas pressure from 20
to 60 psi.
Photomultiplier tube gain factors
– Displays the gain setting, programmable from 0 to
1000.

3.6.6 FLR control panel
The fluorescence (FLR) detector's control panel displays emission or energy units, the excitation
and emission wavelengths, and the photomultiplier tube gain factor.
If Empower software controls the system, the detector's control panel appears at the bottom of
the Run Samples window. If MassLynx software controls the system, the detector's control panel
appears at the bottom of the Inlet Editor window.
You can edit detector parameters when the system is idle by clicking the underlined value. You
cannot edit these values while the system is running samples.
