Select one of the 3 radio buttons and name the recalculation list you are using if
appropriate.
In order to perform automated injections of a group of samples you must first
build a sample list and then a sequence list. An example of a sample list is
displayed below. This screen can be activated from the pull down menu under
File, New Sample List. You must create the list from the empty table you see on
your screen. All of the entry fields are the same as the previous information in
this section for single sample injections. Be especially sure that the AutoSampler
vial information is correct in your sample list.
Once the sample list is created, it is time to create the sequence which will cause
the injections to be made. An example is given below. Select Inject for action,
type the name of the method that you wish to run, and type the name of the
sample list you wish to be injected. When this is completed you are ready to
inject your samples. Use the begin button to start the sequence.
General Parameters that Affect EI Operation
Electron Multiplier Gain
Normal Saturn GC/MS operation assumes that the electron multiplier gain is set
up to produce approximately 10
5
electrons per ion. This is accomplished
automatically with Auto Tune.
The AGC software operates on information derived from the prescan
measurement of the TIC (the AGC peak).
(See Main Method Editor in the Saturn Method Manual for details of scan
function). Unlike the ionization time or filament emission current that can alter the
actual number of ions created in the ion trap, changing the electron multiplier
gain only alters the amplification of the ion current signal of ions after they are
