  3. Export Checked Components to export data at all levels for only the selected components in the table.

  4. TIP

    To select an entire row of results to export, select the checkbox in that row.

    To select all of the rows, select the checkbox in the column header.

  5. Create .mgf File to store the mass and charge state information in an .mgf file that the Mascot search engine can read.
  6. For the Export All Components and the Export Checked Components commands, choose one of the following submenu commands:
  7. As Displayed to export to an Excel (.xlsx) file exactly as currently displayed in the table.
  8. Excel Workbook to export to an Excel (.xlsx) file in the default format.
  9. CSV to export data to a text (.csv) file.
  10. Chromeleon to export to a BioPharma Finder (.bpf) file in a format that is compatible with the Chromeleon chromatography data system.

  11. NOTE

    For the Chromeleon export option, the BioPharma Finder application does not export components that do not have a sequence identification.

  12. See Results table commands.
  13. If you select the Chromeleon export option, the Isotope Count dialog box opens. Enter the number of isotopes to export.
  14. In the Save As dialog box, browse to the file location where you want to store the exported results.
  15. By default, the file name is the same as the experiment name.
  16. Select Save.
