    Abstract: A quadrupole is filled with ions and the ions are cooled by applying a pressure and gas flow within the quadrupole. Ions are trapped in the quadrupole by applying a DC voltage and an RF voltage to quadrupole rods of the quadrupole, one or more DC voltages to a plurality of auxiliary electrodes of the quadrupole, and a DC voltage and an RF voltage to an exit lens at the end of the quadrupole. The ions are coherently oscillated after the filling and cooling by applying a coherent excitation between at least two rods of the quadrupole rods. The coherently oscillating ions are axially ejected through the exit lens and to a destructive detector for detection by changing one or more voltages of the one or more DC voltages of the plurality of auxiliary electrodes and changing the DC voltage of the exit lens.

    Abstract: Methods and circuits for detecting an ion current in a mass spectrometer are described. A circuit and a method may involve converting, over a length of integration time, the ion current to a voltage ramp by an integrating circuit having a gain setting. The circuit and the method may also involve determining a slope of the voltage ramp. The circuit and the method may also involve determining a magnitude of the ion current based on the slope of the voltage ramp and the gain setting. The circuit and the method may further involves determining an out-of-range state based on the voltage ramp and adjusting the gain setting of the integrating circuit, or the length of integration time or both, in response to the determining of the out-of-range state.
