The Method Editor in the Xcalibur Instrument Setup window contains templates for different experiment types. For example, it includes environmental and food safety (EFS) and peptide analysis (PA).

From the Xcalibur Instrument Setup window, you can use the Method Editor to specify the data acquisition settings for your MS experiment:

  1. Open the system template designed for the experiment type that you want to perform.
  2. Enter the parameters specific to the experiment.
  3. Save the entries as part of an Xcalibur instrument method (.meth file name extension).

NOTE

An Xcalibur instrument method includes the chromatographic conditions for the liquid chromatograph, the injection settings for the autosampler, and the data acquisition settings for the MS.
