Precursor ion spectrum

IUPAC RECOMMENDATIONS 2013
Precursor ion spectrum
Deprecated: parent ion spectrum. Mass spectrum in which the appropriate m/z separation function records the precursor ions of selected product ions or specified neutral loss. Note: The ion current recorded by the detector is that from the product ion but the m/z values corresponding to the peaks in the resulting spectrum are those of precursor ions that fragmented in the fashion specified by the m/z separation function of the tandem mass spectrometer.
