Hi everyone
I have many txt files (the protein sequencer results),I find that Chemstaiton have many functions which can help me to interpret the results. but I cann't open the txt file using Chemstation.

can anyone help me to convert the txt file to CDF/AIA files which the Chemstation can open.

thanks

What "text files" are you trying to open? Were they created in ChemStation?

The program can only open ChemStation data files, and can import the AIA format. The only text files that are created are the "report" files, which are an electronic version of the printed report. This file is different from the raw data.

my txt files are the Edman sequencing results.
I just want to view the chromatography by Chemstation which is much powerful than other software.

I have fund the way to do that.


thanks for your help

Great! And now that you have, would you be willing to share with the rest of us so that we can all learn?

1 you must convert a raw data to a CDF file named as "test.cdf".
2 Download and install "R" and install the package named RNetCDF
3 use command
nc <- open.nc("test.cdf")
print.nc(nc)
4 then you will find out wchich variable store the chramatograph data,
5 use “var.put.ncâ€
