Strategy
To optimize instrument settings, do the following:
1. Open a .BIC file for the mass range you are analyzing.
For information on mass ranges in .BIC files, see
Section 5.1.2, Standard Instrument
Settings (.BIC) Files Provided.
If a .BIC file for the mass range you are analyzing does
not exist, open a standard .BIC file with the closest
higher mass.
Hint: To optimize a wide mass range, select a .BIC file
with the mass of the highest component in the range.
2. Find an adequate laser setting. See Section 5.4.2,
Determining the Laser Setting.
3. Optimize resolution. See Section 5.4.3, Optimizing
Resolution.
4. Optimize signal-to-noise ratio. See Section 5.4.4,
Optimizing Signal-to-Noise Ratio.
Remaining parameters in the standard instrument settings
provided are optimized for your workstation and should not
require adjustment.
For more information on the remaining instrument settings
parameters, see Section 5.2, Instrument Settings
Parameter Descriptions.
