2000 MS Method Section
Overview
In the 2000 MS Configuration section, you configured your hardware for a 2000
and opened the System Control Window for instrument control and acquisition.
At this point, you could simply inject a sample and acquire mass spectra.
However, it is not likely that the startup Method will have the method settings that
are appropriate for your analysis. Therefore, the startup Method will need to be
edited to enter the settings appropriate for your analysis. Method Builder is used
to view and edit methods. It can be accessed from MS Workstation Toolbar
under the icon that is labeled that “View/Edit Methods” or the startup.mth button.
The method can also be accessed from the System Control bar by clicking on
the Startup1.mth button.
Using Star Assistant to Create a New Method
If you click on the Method Builder button on the MS Workstation Toolbar, you will
get this dialog box.
If you choose Create a New Method File, the Star Assistant Wizard will guide you
in building this new method.
