This tab is part of the Instrument Status window. View status parameters in this tab.
By noticing significant changes in some of these parameters, you can monitor the health of the instrument. In particular, you can monitor these values: Rough Vac, High Vac, Turbo1 Speed, and Pump1 Current.
The values in the Actuals column are updated approximately every two seconds, depending on the method. The number of actual values returned in a given update cycle may be limited due to the acquisition duty cycle taking priority. During an update cycle, some values may be updated while others are not.

Run Time
Calibrant - Either On or Off. This value shows whether the Calibrant is currently On or Off.
Diverter Valve - Either To MS or To Waste. This value is the current direction of the LC stream.
Ion Source - The source that is connected. Possible sources are ESI, APCI, APPI, MMI, and AJS ESI.
Ion Mode - The mode if you have an MMI source. Possible values are ESI, APCI, ESI+APCI. For other sources, it is the same as Ion Source.
Ion Polarity - Either Positive or Negative.
Locked Mode - Not used in this product.
Firmware Version - The version of the firmware for the mass spectrometer.
Rough Vac - The pressure in the region between the capillary and the skimmer.
High Vac - The pressure in the region of the quadrupole and the detector.
Turbo1 Speed - The rotations per minute for the turbo pump.
Pump1 Current - The electrical current in amps.
