Fragments Comparator Window

The Fragments Comparator window consists of Table and Structures views. Table view lists the numerical m/z values of fragments and Structures view displays structural drawings of possible fragments. Because the Fragments & Mechanisms module can generate several isobaric isomers for a single m/z value, the Structures view imports only the first fragment for each generated m/z value. Fragments are imported into these two views simultaneously but the information is managed independently. If a column in one view is moved or deleted, this action does not affect the other view.

 

In table view it is possible to select a column, or a part of a column, and copy the data. The m/z values can then be pasted into Excel or any spreadsheet program.

 

In Structure view the cell can be resized with the Cell Size track bar.

 

Columns can be moved, in both views. The columns for imported fragments (left part) can be deleted.

 

Note:

The Fragments Comparator can only display structures of fragments if the associated Fragments & Mechanisms window is still open. If you close the associated Fragments & Mechanisms window, the corresponding column of fragments in the Structures tab will be removed.
