Gas Delay Error

Issue

No gas dependent delay for gas [gas mode, i.e. KED, None, etc.] found 

Messaging in log file will look like the following:

No gas dependent delay for gas KED found. Applying 0 µs as new delay|No gas dependent delay for gas KED found. Applying 0 us as new delay
New gas dependent delay for gas KED; new delay = 0 µs
No gas dependent delay for gas None found. Applying 0 µs as new delay|No gas dependent delay for gas None found. Applying 0 us as new delay
New gas dependent delay for gas None; new delay = 0 µs

Environment

• iCAP TQ
• ECCN:EAR99

Resolution

The text of the GasDependentUpDownDelaysConfig.xml file located here: C:\ProgramData\Thermo\Qtegra\_ApplicationData\PluginData\iCAPQNova\Model\iCAPTQ\Configuration must look like this:

Analysis

A specific delay time for each reaction mode is applied in order to provide ample time for reactions to take place in the Qcell and subsequent product ions to enter Q3 to be scanned
