This paper introduces the software which has been programmed to monitor and control MAT-261 mass spectrometer with a new interface card. The software is compiled by VC++ in Windows system, and the operation is more convenient and credible. The analysis results indicate that the new interface and software work well.
In construction of a high current heated hot-tube ion-source, the design of heat shield structure, the optimization of the current input pole and the structure of the heat dissipation are discussed. The heat test of this ion-source is also mentioned and discussed.
The simulation results of MAT-261 type ion source and ion optics with the SIMION 3D 7.0 software were given. By means of simulation, the ion's trajectory was studied, the cause of low abundance sensitivity was analyzed and the optimal poles' voltage ranges of the ion optics were found. Modifications were made to the LRIMS3000 type mass spectrometer according to result of the simulation. The abundance sensitivity of the mass spectrometer is improved to 2×10-6 from original 5×10-5.
