Scan Type

Lets you select a scan type.

Q1

Lets you select a Q1 mass to use for the numerator of the isotope ratio to be obtained.

Element

Displays the analyte name. To add elements, right-click and select [Add/Remove Elements] from the context-menu. The [Elements] dialog box is displayed, which lets you add or remove elements.

Mass

Select the mass to be used as the numerator for calculating the isotope ratio.
