Hi,

I want to convert a Xcaliber Raw file format of MS data (obtained from Thermofisher Polaris-Q MS) to .cdf format (netCDF format). I need to convert file format so that it can be read by FiatFLux software, which is used to estimate flux.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Avinash,

on the road map (home) page of Xcalibur look for the File Convertor in the Tools menu.

Select ANDI for your Destination file type.

Regards,

Loekie

Hi Loekie,

First of all thanks a lot for your reply. I was able to successfully convert Xcaliber Raw file format to .cdf format from Xcaliber itself.

I require another help from you. I am using FiatFlux software for flux analysis using GCMS data. Please see below a paragraph from the USER MANUAL fron FiatFlux:-

1) Convert raw MS data to FF file
RATIO compacts and saves all data and sample-specific parameters in (-mat) files with the *.ff extension. For each analysis, MS data stored in proprietary format has to be exported first and transformed.

[1] Save the GC-MS (LC-MS) runs in the netCDF format using the MS manufacturer’s software. [I have done this part]

[2] Once the *.cdf files are ready, select Menu > Data > Convert CDF… to launch the file selection dialog. [I am not able to generate *.ff file in this step]

If the netCDF file is well formatted, an homonymous *.ff file is created and saved in the same folder as *.cdf file. Multiple file selection is possible. [/u]

Will you be able to tell why this is happening. If you require I can send you the FiatFlux software, its manual and a sample Raw MS data file for your convenience. Please provide me you e-mail-ID if you wish to help me. My mail ID is avinashsinha007@gmail.com.

Thanks a ton again,
Best Regards,
