The complexity of chemical instrumentation has now reached the point that automation of certain instrument functions by conventional algorithmic means is either very difficult or completely unsuitable. This paper discusses the application of expert systems technology to the tuning of a complex analytical chemical instrument, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Results obtained from the first two implementations of the expert system are given. In addition, the design goals and implementation of the third generation expert system are discussed.
