A computer-implemented method of simulating a mass filter, which has a bandpass characteristic, of a mass spectrometer includes: receiving a first candidate magnetic field strength and a first candidate electric field strength of the mass filter; based on the received first candidate magnetic and electric field strengths, determining a corresponding centre mass of the mass filter; based on the received first candidate magnetic and electric field strengths, determining the width of a passband of the bandpass characteristic; and determining at least one of a lower or an upper bound of the passband of the bandpass characteristic of the mass filter, the determining of the upper bound including adding a first predetermined fraction of the determined width of the passband to the determined centre mass and the determining of the lower bound comprising subtracting a second predetermined fraction of the determined width of the passband from the determined centre mass.
A computer-implemented method of simulating a mass filter of a mass spectrometer, the mass filter comprising a first Wien filter and a second Wien filter and having a bandpass characteristic, and the method comprising:
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to perform a method of simulating a mass filter of a mass spectrometer, the mass filter comprising a first Wien filter and a second Wien filter and having a bandpass characteristic, and the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform a method of simulating a mass filter of a mass spectrometer, the mass filter comprising a first Wien filter and a second Wien filter and having a bandpass characteristic, and the method comprising:
