1.1.4 Definition of Terms
Autoranging
The range of the preamplifier and the vacuum ranges are selected automatically.
The autoranging feature of the UL5000 covers the entire range or leak rates
depending on the selected operating mode. Not only the leak rate signal, but also the
pressure in the test sample (inlet pressure P1) and the fore vacuum pressure (P2)
are used for control purposes. Range switching between the main ranges is
performed via valves. Fine range switching within the main ranges is implemented
by switching over the gain factor of the preamplifier.
Autotune Mass alignment
This function automatically aligns the mass spectrometer so that a maximum leak
rate is displayed. The control processor changes the voltage which erates the ions
in the selected mass range until a maximum ion current is detected by the ion
detector. During each calibration the mass alignment is run automatically.
