Abstract: There is provided a method of operating a charge detection mass spectrometer (CDMS), the CDMS comprising an electrostatic ion trap, the electrostatic ion trap comprising a plurality of electrodes, the method comprising: a) introducing a first ion into the electrostatic ion trap at a first ion energy, b) setting the voltage of the plurality of electrodes to a first voltage map, c) obtaining first CDMS data indicative of a first ion oscillation frequency, d) obtaining an acceptable range or ranges of ion oscillation frequencies, e) changing the first ion energy to a second ion energy and/or changing the first voltage map to a second voltage map, and f) obtaining second CDMS data indicative of a second ion oscillation frequency.
