|
| Default values for different types of data are: |
|
|
| • Mariner data— 5,000, which is optimized for masses |
|
|
| below 3,000 m/z. Decrease this value if you are |
|
|
| analyzing proteins. |
|
|
| • Voyager linear data— 2,000, which is optimized for |
|
|
| |
|
|
| masses below 20,000 m/z. Decrease this value if you |
|
|
| are analyzing higher masses or want to label average |
3 |
|
| isotope masses. |
|
| • Voyager reflector data— 10,000, which is optimized for | |
|
|
| masses below 20,000 m/z. Decrease this value if you |
|
|
| are analyzing higher masses or want to label average |
|
|
| isotope masses. |
|
|
| If you set a resolution value of: |
|
|
| • 1,000 or greater— The software uses the setting until it |
|
|
| reaches the mass at which isotopic resolution is no |
|
|
| longer possible, then switches to a resolution of 1,000, |
|
|
| the resolution that corresponds to isotopic clusters. |
|
|
| • Less than 1,000— The software uses the setting for all |
|
|
| masses. |
|
|
| NOTE: The Mass Resolution you set here is also used by the |
|
|
| Elemental Composition Calculator, the Elemental Targeting |
|
|
| Application, and the Default Smoothing function. For more |
