Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating an ion gate having at least a first, a second, and a third electrode, which are arranged one after the other in an intended drifting direction of ions to be influenced by the ion gate, in such a way that the second electrode is arranged after the first electrode and the third electrode is arranged after the second electrode in the drifting direction, wherein the ion gate can be switched between a closed state, in which ions cannot drift through the ion gate in the intended drifting direction, and an open state, in which ions can drift through the ion gate in the intended drifting direction, by applying potentials that alternate over time to one or more of the electrodes mentioned above, wherein, in a switching cycle of the ion gate, which comprises the open state and the closed state of the ion gate, two different closed states of the ion gate are produced in that, in a first closed state, the ion gate is closed by applying a first potential difference between the second and the third electrodes and, in a second closed state, the ion gate is closed by applying a second potential difference between the first and the second electrodes. The invention further relates to a device having an ion transport region and a computer program for performing the method.

Claim (Index 3):
The method as claimed in  claim 2  wherein the first closed state is assumed again after the second closed state.
