Parameter

Description

Maximum Masses per Spectrum

Specifies the maximum number of deconvolution results that can be returned.

Minimum Required Charge States

Specifies the minimum number of charge states that must be found for each mass result.

Minimum Consecutive Charges

Specifies the minimum number of consecutive charge states for each mass result.

Minimum Signal-to-Noise

Specifies the minimum signal to noise ratio that a data point needs to be processed with the deconvolution.

Min/Max Mass

Specifies the mass range considered by both the charge state and the isotope deconvolution algorithms.

Min/Max Charge

Specifies the charge range considered by both the charge state and the isotope deconvolution algorithms.

Number of Peaks to Assess

Specifies the number of "top" most abundant peaks that are used to find charge state distributions.

Peak Tolerance

Specifies the allowable tolerance for other masses to be included in a charge state distribution during charge state deconvolution.

Low Number of Charge States

When enabled, reduces the minimum number of charge states required to define a mass.

Search for Additional Masses

When enabled, searches the spectra near found masses for additional related proteoform masses.

Range for Additional Masses

Specifies the search range for additional masses in m/z.
