Abstract

An efficient and reliable method of focusing the source of a thermal ionization mass spectrometer while under computer control has been developed. The focusing program uses a simplex algorithm which is easily programmed and does not require knowledge of the form of the function being maximized. This algorithm focuses at least as reliably as an experienced operator and usually in less time than that required for careful manual focusing. It thus represents a significant improvement over previous automated focusing techniques.
