Load a data file and select spectra scans

Procedure

From the Home screen, select your desired workflow.
The window for the workflow loads.
In the right panel, select Browse.

Note: Loading a new file will automatically overwrite existing results. To add masses from another data file to existing results, enable the Add to Masses toggle in the right panel.
In the Open dialog box, select a data file, then select Open.

Note: For information on the accepted file formats, see Supported data file types.

The full chromatogram of your file automatically loads into the Chromatogram viewer (top, center panel). The apex scan loads into the Spectrum viewer (bottom, center panel).
To begin automatic deconvolution, select a region on the chromatogram.
To view and average a selection of spectra from the chromatogram, right-click in the Chromatogram viewer and drag to select the range of interest.
In the following example, the eight scans between 145 and 152 (retention time 4.09 to 4.29 minutes) are selected.

The scans with the same MS level in the selected region are averaged together and displayed in the Spectrum viewer (bottom, center panel), which you can toggle between the m/z spectrum and the Mass spectrum views.
