MZmine 2 can read and process both unit mass resolution and exact mass resolution (e.g. FTMS) data in both continuous and centroided modes, including fragmentation (MSn) scans.
Supported data formats are:
The support for Thermo RAW is implemented using a small external program RAWdump.exe in lib/ folder. First, the MZmine importing module creates a separate RAWdump process, which binds to the Thermo Excalibur COM library and extracts the contents of the RAW file as plain text. The MZmine importing module then reads the plain text data and imports it into MZmine. Please see the source file RAWdump.cpp (written in C++) for details.
