The following table describes the commands in the command bar of the Process and Review page.
Command | Description |
|---|---|
Process | Processes (in Manual mode) or reprocesses the intact mass analysis experiment and deconvolves the source spectra with any changes made in the Real-Time Optimization pane on the Process and Review page. To activate the Process button, you must modify the experiment parameters. See Process an experiment in Manual mode and Use real-time optimization (RTO) to reprocess results. Select the Process button to open a dialog box where you can enter a new experiment/method name or retain the same name to overwrite previously saved results/parameters in the current experiment with the new data. Use only alphanumeric, space, underscore "_", and period "." characters, up to 50 maximum, in the experiment and method names. You cannot overwrite an experiment that is currently submitted to the run queue or is actively processing or canceling. You also cannot overwrite a default method. If the experiment uses the Average Over Selected Retention Time option as the source spectra (deconvolution) method, you must specify the source spectrum for all of the loaded raw data files before you can process the experiment. If the experiment uses the Auto Peak Detection option as the source spectra (deconvolution) method, the Process button is always inactive. For this type of experiment, you can only view the parameters and results on the Process and Review page; you cannot reprocess the experiment. |
Save Results As | Saves the latest results in the database. Select this button to open a dialog box where you can enter a new experiment name or retain the same name to overwrite previously saved results in the current experiment with the new results. You can also enter a description for the experiment. This button is inactive if you modified any processing method parameter for real-time optimization. In this case, select Process to reprocess the experiment and reactivate this button. Use only alphanumeric, space, underscore "_", and period "." characters, up to 50 maximum, in the experiment name. You cannot overwrite an experiment that is currently submitted to the run queue or is actively processing or canceling. |
Save Method As | Saves the updated parameters in the Real Time Optimization pane, the chromatograms in the Chromatogram pane, and the source spectra in the Source Spectrum pane, to a processing method in the database. Select this button to open a dialog box where you can enter a new method name or retain the same name to overwrite all saved parameters in the method with the new parameter settings. You can also enter a description for the method. Use only alphanumeric, space, underscore "_", and period "." characters in the method name. You cannot overwrite a default method. |
Add to Library | Saves the current deconvoluted spectrum to the Deconvoluted Spectra Library. You can then compare it to any other saved spectrum in this library. See Add or remove deconvoluted spectra to the Library. This button is inactive if you modified any processing method parameter for real-time optimization. In this case, select the Process button to reprocess the experiment and reactivate this button. |
