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.
5.11 AutoSaturation Correction
(Mariner Data Only)
NOTE: Autosaturation correction is not supported for
Mariner .RST or DAD data.
Function 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.
Hardware
requirements
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.
