Abstract
A method for processing time-dependent signal data is disclosed. The time-dependent signal data are received in a memory, wherein the time-dependent signal data represent a time-dependent signal, and wherein the time-dependent signal data include representations of time-of-flight values of ions, or values derived from time-of-flight values of ions. The time-dependent signal data are scaled with a time-dependent scaling function.
