Centroid acquisition
Procedure of recording mass spectra in which an automated computer-based system detects peaks, calculates the centroid based on the average m/z value weighted by the intensity, and assigns m/z values based on a calibration file. Only the centroid m/z value and the peak magnitude are stored.
