Hi @elliotfontaine,
thank you for using ThermoRawFileParser. Internally RAW files use the same analyzer type (FTMS
) for all FT-enabled mass data (FTICR and Orbitrap in that regard). The <referenceableParamGroup>
element contains the instrument model and serial number - these are saved in the RAW file, elements of <componentList>
are populated based on the actual scan types used in a particular RAW file. Currently, TRFP assigns MS:1000079
(i.e. FTICR analyzer) for all FTMS
scan types. It is possible to deduce if FTMS
means FTICR or Orbitrap, based on the instrument model (basically, using a dictionary of all instruments). This feature can be implemented in the next release.
This is the file produced by ThermoRawFileParser with default parameters:
I don't think the analyser is a "fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer". This is the one produced by MSConvert for comparison.
