6.7.2 Before Creating a Sequence
This section describes:
• Optimizing instrument settings (.BIC) files for a
sequence run
• Creating macros
• Creating calibration (.CAL) files
• Creating settings (.SET) files
Optimizing
instrument
settings (.BIC)
files for a
sequence run
Select .BIC files based on the compound type and mass range
you are analyzing. See Section 5.1.2, Standard Instrument
Settings (.BIC) Files Provided.
You can use more than one .BIC file in your sequence run if
you are analyzing a wide mass range, for example, when
analyzing a mixture of protein and peptide samples. As a
general guideline, you may need separate .BIC files for
different mass ranges, for example:
• 1,000 to 6,000 Da
• 5,000 to 12,000 Da
• 10,000 to 30,000 Da
.BIC requirements
Optimize the instrument settings for Automatic Control mode.
For more information see Section 6.6.2, Setting Instrument
Settings for Automatic Control Mode.
Note the following:
• If Use Automated Laser Intensity Adjustment is disabled
in the .BIC, the laser intensity set in the Instrument
Control Panel is used for the analysis. You can manually
adjust the laser intensity by pressing Ctrl+PageUp or
Ctrl+PageDn.
• If Use Automated Sample Positioning is disabled in the
.BIC, the analysis is performed on the center of the
sample position. You can manually adjust the position
using the control stick.
