ABSTRACT:
A system intended for use in time-of-flight mass spectroscopy for detecting at least one ion species in an ion spectra including a signal acquisition circuit for detecting the ions in the spectra and generating output signals indicative thereof, a sequence and storage control circuit for tagging certain ones of the signals to be stored, a memory circuit for storing the output signals tagged by the sequence and storage control circuit, and a digital signal processor circuit receiving the tagged signals from the memory for summing the tagged data and generating an output signal indicative of a value of the ion species detected. A method for collecting the data is also disclosed.
