I suspect it's a SIM/SRM data file so by default the SIM/SRM data is represented as chromatograms instead of spectra. The --simAsSpectra/--srmAsSpectra flags should work to address that. -Matt On 7/26/2013 11:00 AM, Jimmy Eng wrote: I would suggest that you follow-up with a post at the Skylin

Hi David, -c is not a standard parameter. It is a filter that specifies centroiding instead of profile mode... thus your ReAdW DTA has peaks and your msconvert DTA has profile data points. But I also suggest that mzxml2search should have printed a warning (or did you ignore it?) because the mzX

Msconvert should enumerate all the non-SRM and non-SIM spectra. Due to performance issues of the API, it enumerates cycles first, then experiments, then periods. For example: sample=1 period=0 cycle=123 experiment=1 sample=1 period=0 cycle=124 experiment=1 sample=1 period=0 cycle=125 experiment
