A [[linked scan]] performed on a [[sector mass spectrometer]] that incorporates at least one [[electric sector]] plus one [[magnetic sector]] in either order. The [[accelerating voltage]] is fixed and the magnetic field, B, and the electric field, E, are scanned simultaneously so as to maintain the ratio B<sup>2</sup>/E at a constant value. This [[linked scan]] records a [[precursor ion spectrum]] of dissociation or other reactions occurring in the [[field free region]] preceding the two sectors.
