PE 1000 ICPMS datas import problem

Gao

Hello, we found a problem when we import .CN files from PE 1000 ICPMS. The 204Pb will be identified as 204Hg. The .CN files only have m/z values. So it may cause this problem?

Can you please share your data file and any custom importer that you're using with the support email for us to investigate?

Many thanks,

Gao

@"Joe" I have sent an email to the support. Thanks.

Hi Gao ,

Thanks for sending those data through. You are correct that this is an issue because only the m/z is reported in the PE files. iolite was automatically assigning the first element that matched the mass. I have updated iolite's code to assign m/z 204 to Pb. That change will be available in the next release of iolite (>v4.5.5.1).

In the meantime, to change the channel details, you can just paste the following lines into iolite's Python Workspace and run them:

pb = data.timeSeries("Hg204")
pb.setProperty("Element", "Pb")
pb.name = "Pb204"
data.emitDataChanged()

That will change the Hg204 channel to Pb204.

Please let me know if you have any troubles.

Best regards,
Bence
