Abstract:
An analyzer includes: an ionizer unit that ionizes molecules to be analyzed; a filter unit that selectively passes ions generated by the ionizer unit; and a detection unit that detects ions that have passed the filter unit. The detection unit includes a plurality of detection elements disposed in a matrix, and the analyzer further includes a first reconfiguration unit that switches between detection patterns including detection elements to be enabled for detection out of the plurality of detection elements. The ionizer unit includes a plurality of ion sources, and the analyzer further includes a driving control unit that switches the connections of the plurality of ion sources based on changes in characteristics of the ion sources.

Claim (Index 5):
A method for controlling an analyzer that includes an ionizer that is configured to ionize molecules to be analyzed, a filter that is configured to selectively pass ions generated by the ionizer via a magnetic field; and a detector that is configured to detect ions that have passed the filter, the method comprising:\n measuring a tuning gas having components with respective concentrations and provided at one or more predetermined intervals during an operation; and adjusting, based on the measuring, (i) an ion current of the ionizer, (ii) the magnetic field associated with the filter, and (iii) a sensitivity of the detector to detect the components and the respective concentrations of the components of the provided tuning gas.
