Abstract
A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising digitizing a plurality of individual signals or transients and summing the plurality of digitized signals or transients or data relating to the plurality of digitized signals or transients to generate a composite mass spectral data set. The method further comprises determining in relation to the composite mass spectral data set an indication of the proportion of instances that intensity values relating to the individual digitized signals or transients either: (i) exceeded or approached a threshold value; (ii) suffered from saturation or approached saturation; or (iii) resulted from the dynamic range of an ion detector system being exceeded or approached.
