This can be performed with a [[sector instrument]] incorporating at least one [[electric sector]] plus one [[magnetic sector]]. The magnetic sector field strength, B, and the electric sector field strength, E, are scanned simultaneously, while holding the [[accelerating voltage]] , V, constant, so as to maintain the ratio B [1- (E /E 0)]1/2 /E constant. This constant value is equal to B3/E0, where E0 and B3 are respectively the electric and magnetic sector fields required to transmit M3+ ions in the main ion beam; m3 represents the mass (m1-m2) of the selected neutral fragment M3 whose precursor spectrum is required. The fragmentation reactions thus observed occur in a field-free region traversed before the two sectors scanned in this way. The term 'B [1- (E /E 0)]1/2/E linked scan is not recommended.
