データ処理部4は、パーソナルコンピュータをハードウエア資源とし、そのパーソナルコンピュータに予めインストールされた専用の処理ソフトウエアを該コンピュータで実行することによりそれぞれの機能が実現されるものとすることができる。
上述したように、試料に含まれる各種成分は包括的2次元LC部1において時間方向に高い分離能で分離され、質量分析装置2ではスキャン測定が繰り返し実施される。それによって、スペクトルデータ収集部41には、図2に示すように、1次元目保持時間RT1と2次元目保持時間RT2という二つの時間軸を有する仮想的な空間上の各微小領域(図2(a)中で斜線で示した矩形状の範囲であるピクセル)に対応するマススペクトルデータが格納される。一つの微小領域におけるマススペクトルデータは図2(b)に示すように、質量電荷比m/zとイオン強度との関係を示すマススペクトルを構成するデータである。
また、図3に示したような3次元表示画像は、各軸を中心に任意の角度で回転させることで任意の方向から見た状態を表示できるようにしておくことが望ましい。それによって、例えば、2次元目保持時間R2が紙面に直交するような方向から質量ずれ量の分布を眺めることで、どの1次元目保持時間RT1において質量ずれ量が最大になっているのか、といったことを一目で認識することが可能となる。
さらにまた、包括的2次元クロマトグラフ質量分析装置ではなく、イメージング質量分析装置においても同様の質量ずれ量の2次元表示を行うようにすることができる。
