Automatic Calibration

Automatic calibration for Mariner data

Matches all peaks that meet the specified Reference Matching criteria. If the number of peaks matched is greater than or equal to the specified Minimum Number of Peaks to Match, and the resulting fit errors are less than or equal to the specified Max Outlier Error, calibration is successful.

If any points exceed the specified Max Outlier Error, the software eliminates the outliers, one-by-one, worst to best, until all points are within the specified Max Outlier Error.

If the number of matching peaks falls below the Minimum Number of Peaks to Match when the software eliminates an outlier, the calibration fails.

The Automatic Calibration function in Data Explorer is useful for quickly calibrating all spectra in a Mariner data file, after you prepare automatic calibration settings. You use the Automatic Calibration function in Data Explorer to prepare Automatic Calibration settings (contain reference masses and other matching information) and to calibrate the data.

You can also use the Automatic Calibration function in Data Explorer to prepare Automatic Calibration settings (contain reference masses and other matching information) for use by the Mariner Sequence Control Panel (described in the Mariner Workstation Version 4.0 Supplement). You can save a .SET file that contains the settings, and specify the .SET file in the Sequence Control Panel. If you create and specify a macro to automatically calibrate, the Sequence Control Panel can use the calibration settings contained in the .SET file.
