Detector Preamp

Edgar is able to control and acquire data from systems with either the original Bomem preamp or the new LR Tech preamp. In conjunction with the Ionetrics Annotator, Edgar will map the preamp gain control bits to the actual preamp gain setting, so that no matter which preamp is used the file headers and Annotation Spreadsheet will always contain the actual preamp gain at the time the data was collected.

The table below shows the actual gain control bits used for each preamp as a function of gain:
