About the detector control panel

When Empower software controls the system, the detector’s control panel

appears at the bottom of the Sample Set Editor page. When MassLynx

software controls the system, the detector’s control panel appears at the

bottom of the Inlet Editor window.

Detector control panel:

The detector control panel displays the acquisition status (if the detector is

running) and shutter position. You cannot edit detector parameters while the

system is processing samples.
The following table lists the items in the detector control panel.

Modifiable detector control panel items:

Control panel item

Description

Lamp On/Off LED

Displays status of the lamp (On or

Off) on the front panel of the

detector (unless communication with

the detector is lost).

Status

Displays the status of the current

operation. (Appears only if the

detector is running.)
Status can be:
• Getting Ready
• Ready
• Running
• Error
