second per trial. When making changes to the look-ahead settings, make sure to adjust these settings
only one-tenth (.1) second per trial. Larger adjustments can cause unintentional large changes in the
AutoSwath’s performance. When adjusting the look-ahead numbers from the suggested settings, it is
recommended that you observe multiple trials to confirm the operations’ accuracy.
