Scheduled ionization in Analyst® TF software 1.8 is not configured to work optimally with the OptiFlow® Turbo V ion source ion source for nano flow. When using the OptiFlow® Turbo V ion source, scheduled ionization is always on, except when the start time in Analyst software is set to zero during pre- and post-run times. This is an issue for the nano spray users, because they will be unable to have the voltage stay on between runs for perpetual spray.
