I guess, only Thermo may know exactly how to convert NCD into eV.

I am not sure if the following docs from Thermo may really help, except for
the units:

PSB 104. Normalized Collision Energy(TM) Technology

PSB 121. Enhanced Fragmentation of Small Molecules in a Thermo Scientific
LTQ Series Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer Using Stepped Normalized
Collision Energy
