A method of analyzing data from a mass spectrometer for a data dependent acquisition is described. In an embodiment of this method, mass spectral scans are taken of a sample eluted from a liquid chromatography column. An extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) is then created for each m/z data point of the mass spectral scans and the XIC for each m/z data point are correlated to a model function, such as a monotonically increasing function, or the first half of a gaussian function, to obtain a XIC correlation value. A weighting function is then applied to the XIC correlation value to obtain a current weighted intensity. The current weighted intensity for each m/z point is used to reconstruct a weighted mass spectrum, which is then used to make a real-time decision for the data dependent acquisition. In an embodiment, the data dependent acquisition is the performance of tandem mass spectrometry.
