Edit a method (LC/MS)

You edit a method to configure method parameters and instrument configuration settings for your instrument and method.

You need to make sure that your method's parameters and instrument configuration are compatible with your current instrument hardware and resources. The system compares your method configuration and the actual instrument configuration before allowing it to be used to acquire data.

You can have up to four different scan segments that are acquired for the entire run. You can also have multiple SIM segments that are acquired starting at the time that you enter in the Acquisition Parameters table.
