API Instrument Folder
The API Instrument folder is unique and very important to the correct functioning of the mass spectrometer. The
API Instrument folder contains the information required for tuning and calibrating the mass spectrometer. This
information includes parameter settings files, reference files, instrument data files that contain calibration and
resolution information, and the acquisition methods used during automatic tuning. The API Instrument folder also
contains data files for manual tuning runs that were performed using the Start button rather than the Acquire
button. These data files are saved automatically in the API Instrument folder in the Tuning Cache folder and named
with the date and time they were created. The Tuning Cache folder is automatically cleared periodically.
Default Folder
The Default folder contains folders that are present in new projects and serves as a template for new projects.
Example Folder
The Example folder contains sample methods and data files. Users can practice working with the Explore mode
using the example data files
