Zusammenfassung:A method is disclosed for operating an ion trap mass spectrometer in such a way as to distinguish resonantly ejected ions from non-resonantly ejected ions. A supplementary AC field is superimposed on the three-dimensional quadrupole trapping field and the combined fields are scanned to resonantly eject ions of consecutive mass-to-charge ratio. The ejected ions are detected and the output signal of the resonantly ejected ions has a frequency component at the frequency of the supplementary AC field.
