In this paper a novel workflow‐based data acquisition and control system for Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR‐MS) is presented that facilitates a fast on‐the‐fly decision‐making process for a wide variety of data‐dependent experiments. Several new workflow implementations demonstrate the flexibility and benefit of this approach for rapid dynamic experimental design on a chromatographic timescale. The different sequence, evaluation, decision and monitoring modules are described using a selected set of examples. During a tandem liquid chromatography (LC)/FTICR‐MS experiment the system is used to dynamically switch between various dissociation techniques such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and sustained off‐resonance irradiation (SORI) depending on the charge state of a tryptic peptide peak. The use of this workflow‐based system for imaging FTICR‐MS using a desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) source demonstrates the possibility of external control of the workflow by feedback from an imaging sample stage.
