Chapter 5 Examining Spectrum Data
NOTE: Charge states other than 0 or 1 in the converted trace indicate that a peak in the original spectrum is labeled with an incorrect charge state. Set peak detection thresholds to disregard these peaks and convert the spectrum again.
CAUTION
A zero value in the Spec Peak list does not indicate a charge state of zero. It indicates that the software could not determine the charge state.
5.11AutoSaturation Correction (Mariner Data Only)NOTE: Autosaturation correction is not supported for Mariner .RST or DAD data.
The AutoSaturation Correction function mathematically corrects for signal saturation of the Mariner detector system to provide optimum mass accuracy.
The AutoSaturation Correction feature is turned on by default, and automatically corrects the data when you open a Mariner data file in Data Explorer. Leave this feature turned on for normal operation.
The AutoSaturation Correction function requires special hardware. If the system used to acquire the data does not include the required hardware, the AutoSaturation Correction does not completely correct for saturation of the detection system, even if it is enabled.
