Impact of Changing Instrument Settings Parameters
Input Bandwidth
(not available with
Signatec
digitizers)
Decreasing the Input Bandwidth decreases the response time
of the detector, and can reduce higher frequency noise. A
lower setting can improve resolution and smooth out a
baseline, but may also decrease signal-to-noise ratio.
Because the Input Bandwidth is an electronic analog filter, it
may slightly shift peak centroids toward higher masses relative
to peaks recorded with Full Bandwidth.
Suggested settings
Use the settings listed below as a starting point for Input
Bandwidth. Adjust as needed to eliminate noise.
NOTE: To maintain signal-to-noise ratio, use a lower Input
Bandwidth setting.
