Mass Deconvolution (Mariner Data Only)

6.Select the method to use for calculation:

•Automatic— Selects additional multiply charged peaks based on the selected peaks and performs the calculation.

NOTE: If the trace is noisy, the software may not accurately select additional multiply charged peaks.

•Manual— Performs the calculation using only selected peaks. Does not select additional multiply charged peaks.

7.Select Apex or Centroid mass to use for the calculation.

8.Enter the mass/charge range to include in the calculation. This range is used for two purposes:

•If you selected Automatic mode, the software searches this range for other peaks that are in the same charge series as the peaks selected above. The software includes these other peaks in the calculation, to improve signal-to-noise ratio and the accuracy of the calculation.

•Regardless of mode, the software uses all data points in this range to construct the deconvoluted spectrum.

9.Select or enter the mass of the adduct ion to use in the calculation. The mass of a proton (H+) is selected by default.

10.To display both the zero-charge spectrum trace and the deconvolution results, select Generate Zero-Charge
