Instrument settings control operation of the Voyager mass
spectrometer and are stored in .BIC files. Instrument settings
include:
• Mode/digitizer settings
• Control mode (manual or automatic)
• Voltages
• Spectrum acquisition settings
• Laser intensity settings
• Calibration settings
• PSD acquisition settings
For more information, see Section 5.2, Instrument Settings

You can create instrument settings files with different settings
and save each file for future use. When you analyze samples,
you can select an instrument settings file with the appropriate
settings instead of entering new settings.
