凭借其采集速率达100平均谱图/秒的能力，FASTFLIGHT-2成为LC/TOF-MS/和GC/TOF-MS应用中优异的数据采集解决方案。色谱技术正在向更短的保留时间发展，使得飞行时间质谱（TOF-MS）获取平均谱图的速度越来越快。对比代的数字信号平均器，FASTFLIGHT-2 将TOF谱图处理速度提高了10倍，因而有能力适应更快的色谱仪。
由于使用了采样ADC以及硬件数字信号平均器，FASTFLIGHT-2能处理LC/TOF-MS, GC/TOF-MS, Ion-Trap/TOF-MS 和 MALDI I TOF-MS中碰到的高速离子而不用像在时间数字转换器（TDC）中遭受死区时间的困扰。对比瞬时数字转换器以及数字采样示波器，他们都面临缓慢的软件平均速度，FASTFLIGHT-2传递平均谱图的速度比它们快了好多个数量级。
其创新的，自动关联噪声消减特性意味着FASTFLIGHT-2在QqTOF-MS低速离子应用中也是有效的解决方案，这一领域以前一直被认为都是TDC和时间转换器所。

| Amplitude Digitizing Resolution | 8 bit- ADC nominally spans 500 mV at the Analog Input. |
| Precision Enhancer | Extends the limiting ADC resolution to 12 bits (for input noise <2 mV) when circa 256 or more records are averaged3. Optionally, on or off. |
| Differential and Integral Non-Linearity (DNL and INL) | Measured from 5% to 95% of full scale using a 500 mV, 70 µs ramp, with Precision Enhancer on. DNL within ±0.1 LDB referred to the 8-bit ADC. INL within ±0.4% of full scale. |
| Analog input Bandwidth | DC to 500 MHz; rise adn fall times <1 ns. |
| Equivalent input Noise | (Measured with 500 ps sampling and 50 µs record lenght.) Uncorrelated with the Trigger <2 mV rms. Correlated with the Trigger <0.02 mV (typically 0.01 mV rms) with Automatic Correlated Noise Substruction. |
| Automatic Correlated Noise Substruction | Automatically assesses the correlated noise in each spectrum and substracts it without compromising data throughout rates. Optionally, on or off. |
| Analog DC Offset (Vertical Offset) | Zero offset of the ADC is computer adjustable from -250 mV to +250 mv with 0.03 mV resolution, referred to the Analog input. |
