High Edge Offset: This parameter provides a fine adjustment for the isolation
window to optimize the ejection of the mass just above the parent ion mass. The
High Edge Offset range is -20 to 20 steps. The default value is a function of the
parent ion mass.
Large positive values widen the isolation window towards high masses.
High Edge Amplitude: Amplitude of broadband waveform used in the two-step
isolation to eject masses above the isolated parent ion. The default value works
well for stable ions, but may need to be reduced for unstable ions. The range of
values is 0 to 60 volts with a default value of 30 volts.
Isolation Time: The dwell time that the broadband waveform is applied during
the high mass elimination step. The default value works well for stable ions, but
may need to be reduced for unstable ions. The range of values is 1 to 10 msec
with a default value of 5 msec.
A
NOTE: In the case of unstable ions, the isolation efficiency can be improved by
decreasing the isolation time.
Dissociation
Excitation Time: The excitation time is the time required for collision-induced
dissociation (CID) by ion excitation. The excitation time range is 0 to 1000 msec.
The default excitation time is 20 msec for both resonant and nonresonant
excitation.
Modulation Range: The step range over which the rf storage field is modulated
during resonant CID. This modulation greatly reduces any effect of changing
secular frequency with concentration. The default is sufficient for exciting a single
ion. When trying to excite an isotopic cluster, increase this value and/or increase
the CID bandwidth. The range is 0 to 12 steps. The default value is 2 steps.
