Total ion current

(1) After mass analysis, the sum of all the separate ion currents carried by the different ions contributing to the spectrum.

(2) Before mass analysis, the sum of all the separate ion currents for ions of the same sign before mass analysis.

1. (after mass analysis): The sum of the separate ion currents carried by the different ions contributing to the spectrum (this is sometimes called the reconstructed ion current).

2. (before mass analysis): The sum of all the separate ion currents for ions of the same sign before mass analysis.
