The MISTRAL experiment for measuring masses of very short-lived nuclides at ISOLDE has been installed during the summer of 1997 and has had its first radioactive beam in November 1997. Tests are presently been carried out to study all possible systematic effects. This paper recalls the basic principles of the Smith-type radio-frequency spectrometer, gives its present characteristics and limitations, and describes the methods used to improve its performances.
