5.3.6 Hints for Calibrating Voyager Data

Importing a calibration

If you import a calibration, you must import a calibration generated from a data file that was acquired on the same instrument using identical settings for the following instrument setting parameters:

Polarity

Instrument mode

If you import a calibration that was generated using settings that are different from the current Polarity and Instrument Mode settings, an error message is displayed.

NOTE: The calibration of the mass scale changes when you change the Accelerating Voltage, Grid Voltage%, or Delay Time. Default calibration adjusts for these changes. However, you observe more accurate calibration if you use an external calibration (.CAL) file generated with the same Accelerating Voltage, Grid Voltage%, or Delay Time.
