Temperature Symptoms

The MSD has three heated zones:

  • Ion source (Source or MS Source in the software)

  • Mass filter (Quad or MS Quad in the software)

  • GC/MSD interface (Thermal Aux 2 in the software)

Each of these heated zones has a heater cartridge and temperature sensor. The ion source and mass filter heaters are powered and controlled by the MSD. The GC/MSD interface is powered and controlled by the GC.
