Hi Maren and Mark,

I think Maren put this very well. A few comments:

Yes.

I agree, using different techniques for each detector and putting the
data into different ExperimentSteps would be the cleanest way.

Correct. So each MS spectrum would have a Reference pointing up to the
time vector of the LC chromatogram page.

Have a good weekend!
