Make sure that all cables are correctly connected. Installing the DIP on the Agilent 7000 Triple Q Before installing the DIP System to the Agilent 7000 Triple Q MS/MS you have to uninstall the MSD front panel.

When the autotune has completed, save it as “ATUNE.U”, and then select Tune Evaluation from the Qualify menu. The software will evaluate the last autotune and print a System Verification – Tune report. 4.
This chapter is valid for all DIP systems for the Agilent 7000 Triple Q and for those for the 5975 MSD starting from serial number SN1938 (December 2009) because these systems are not equipped with an inspection glass any longer: In case of maintenance work at the push rod or for installing purposes it can be necessary to reposition the push rod in the ion source.
