The Method Editor application enforces the following master scan rules to prevent illogical instrument methods:

  • No MS Full scan after an MS master scan
  • No scans, filters, or decisions after targeted n-level MSn (tMSn)
  • Multiplexing of only tSIM and tMS2
  • An MSn level for a master scan of 2, 3, or n

For additional rules, see the tooltip descriptions of the individual master scan types.
