Mass calibration
IUPAC RECOMMENDATIONS 2013
Means of determining m/z values of ions from experimentally detected signals using a theoretical or empirical relational equation. Note: Most commonly this is accomplished using a computer-based data system and a calibration file obtained from a mass spectrum of a compound that produces ions of known m/z values.

-A means of determining ''[[m/z]]'' values from their times of detection relative to initiation of acquisition of a [[mass spectrum]].  Most commonly this is accomplished using a computer-based data system and a calibration file obtained from a mass spectrum of a compound that produces ions whose ''m/z'' values are known.
