Mass Spec Procedure

Inficon Mass Spec (from Cindy Merida):

1. To begin, open TWare32 program. Make sure power supply for actual mass spectrometer is connected, and the RS232 cable is connected as well.
2. When program is opened, Sensor1_P1TSP2 will appear green if everything is connected properly, if not, it will appear blue.
3. Click on the Sensor icon, and monitor, to monitor the full mass spectrum.
4. The defaults on the mass spectrum are set at MaxAMU of 70, which can be changed to 100.
5. Make sure both the Emission and Multiplier icons are clicked to have the mass spectrum running properly. If pressure is bad, turn off the multiplier.
6. Also, the range can be changed, to give bigger peaks, adjust to a smaller range and vice versa.
7. When finished running, click stop on the software, and close the window. Unplug or switch off the power supply
