    摘要: An excessive overshoot preventing unit (16) is connected to a loop in which a command voltage Vf according to a difference between: a voltage obtained by dividing an output voltage Vout as a high voltage; and a control voltage Vcont set from the outside is obtained and fed back to each of drive circuits (3 and 5) of a positive voltage generating unit (2) and a negative voltage generating unit (4). The excessive overshoot preventing unit (16) clamps the command voltage Vf at a voltage value according to the control voltage Vcont. An overshoot that occurs in the voltage generating unit (2 or 4) at the time of polarity switching mainly depends on a circuit constant, and hence the amount of overshoot is excessive in the case of a low-voltage output even if the amount of overshoot is optimal in the case of a rated output. To deal with this, in this power unit, the overshoot of the command voltage Vf is suppressed by the excessive overshoot preventing unit (16), and hence the output voltage can be promptly settled to a target voltage even in the case of a low-voltage output.

    摘要: A high-voltage power source for applying high voltage to a nozzle of an ESI ion source includes a charge release assistant section (26) including switch circuits (62 and 65) and other elements for forcing electric charges accumulated at output terminals to be discharged in a polarity-switching operation, whereby the positive/negative switching of the polarity of the output voltage can be quickly performed. In the mass spectrometer according to the present invention, for example, when the voltage applied to the nozzle needs to be changed from V 1 to V 2 (where V 1 and V 2 are positive, and V 1 >V 2 ), a voltage control section (20) under the command of a main controller (9) operates a positive voltage generation section (21) and negative voltage generation section (23) so as to temporarily provide a negative output voltage. After a predetermined period of time, the voltage control section operates the positive voltage generation section (21) and negative voltage generation section (23) so as to provide voltage V 2 . If the voltage was simply changed from V 1 to V 2 , the voltage would decrease slowly and require considerable time for the change. The positive/negative switching of the polarity induces the discharging of the electric charges accumulated at the output terminals, and consequently, the voltage-switching operation from V 1 to V 2 is quickly performed.

    摘要: Provided is a quadrupole mass spectrometer including direct-current voltage sources (62, 63) having response characteristics which ensure that the response time of the direct-current voltage will be shorter than the period of time required for an ion having the highest mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) among the ions introduced into a quadruple mass filter (2) to pass through this filter (2). Main rod electrodes (31-34) and pre-rod electrodes (41-44) are connected to each other via primary differentiation circuits (65, 66). Thus, in the transient state of the voltage change due to the switching of the mass-to-charge ratio, among the ions entering the quadrupole mass filter (2), ions having low m/z values can be removed by a pre-electrode unit (4), and ions having high m/z values can be removed by a main electrode unit (3). Accordingly, a large amount of ions can be prevented from passing through the filter (2) and entering an ion detector (5).

    摘要: An output terminal (P2) of a positive voltage generating circuit (2) and an output terminal (Q1) of a negative voltage generating circuit (4) are connected in series, and an output terminal (Q2) of the negative voltage generating circuit (4) is connected to a ground via a resistor (9). A switching circuit (62, 65) and a series connection circuit of resistors (60, 61, 63, 64) are connected in parallel to each other between the output terminals (P1, P2, Q1, Q2) of the positive voltage generating circuit (2) and the negative voltage generating circuit (4). The switching circuit (65) is on-off driven by a voltage signal taken from a junction point between the resistors (60, 61), and the switching circuit (62) is on-off driven by a voltage signal taken from a junction point between the resistors (63, 64). Accordingly, when the polarity of an output voltage is switched, electric charges accumulated up to that point are discharged through the switching circuit (62, 65) of a voltage OFF-side polarity, so that the voltage quickly falls. As a result, the speed of switching the polarity of the voltage is further increased than before.

    摘要: As a control parameter given to a direct-current (DC) voltage generator (53) which generates a DC voltage for ion selection, a "mass-related offset" for allowing an adjustment of the offset for each mass-to-charge ratio is provided in addition to the "gain" and "common offset" which respectively determine the gradient and position of a scan line drawn on a stability diagram during a mass-scan operation. In an automatic adjustment operation using a standard sample, under the control of an automatic regulator (61), the "gain" and "common offset" are initially set, after which the "mass-related offset" for each mass-resolving power is determined so that the mass-resolving power will be substantially uniform, and these data are stored in a control data memory (52). In an analysis of a sample of interest, a quadrupole voltage controller (51) controls the DC voltage generator (53) and a radio-frequency (RF) voltage generator (54) according to the control parameters read from the memory (52). Even when the RF voltage V is non-linear due to the non-linearity of a wave-detector (56), the mass-resolving power can be made to be substantially uniform by varying the DC voltage U in the form of a polygonal line that resembles that non-linearity.
