How does the total pressure detector in a quadropole mass spectrometer work?
All quadropole mass spectrometers that I have seen provide a total pressure reading in addition to partial pressure readings for the selected masses.
The mechanism of the total pressure measurement is ...

Calculate FTIR-system response functions from measurements of a calibrated black body
I need to find the response of my FTIR spectrometer. I do have a calibrated black-body source (area-emitter) which I measured at various temperatures.
The system operates in inverse cm, cm-1. My ...

Quantifying Instrument Precision Using Multiple Measurements: Rounding
I'm working with a spectrometer that collects raw data as a 16-bit integer value, so the readout I get from a measurement always varies between 0 and 65,535.
I'm trying to avoid implementing data ...
