A variety of ions generated in an ion source are made to fly while bypassing a loop orbit and mass analyzed to create a mass spectrum. Among the peaks appearing on the mass spectrum, peaks complying with predetermined conditions are extracted to determine a plurality of mass ranges to be measured (S1 through S3). Next, the ion selection conditions for the timing when ions should be injected into the loop orbit and on the loop orbit are determined for each mass range. In addition, deviation conditions under which selected ions will not be mixed are determined (S4 and S5). When the second measurement is performed for the same sample, ions are put into the loop orbit and unnecessary ions are removed from the loop orbit in accordance with the ion selection conditions (S6 and S7). Thus, only the ions to be measured are left on the loop orbit with a high mass resolving power. Then, these ions are sequentially deviated from the loop orbit in accordance with the ion deviation conditions, dissociated, and then mass analyzed (S8). In this manner, MS/MS analyses are performed for each of the plurality of ions to be measured to create an MS/MS spectrum (S10). |
