12. Set the Electron State to calculate. If you are
calculating composition for:
• Intact molecules—Use the default of Even
Only.
• Fragment ions—Set to Both Odd and Even
if you are analyzing mass differences or
absolute masses.
NOTE: You may be able to refine results for fragment
ions by setting Electron State to Odd Only.
