General Information

Mass Frontier™ is based on 14 modules, which are accessible as windows:

 Image Structure Editor

 Image Database Manager

 Image Chromatogram Processor

 Image Fragments & Mechanisms

 Image Fragments Comparator

 Image Fragmentation Library

 Image Components Editor

 ImageSpectra Classifier

 Image Spectra Projector

 Image Neural Networks

 Image Isotope Pattern

 Image Periodic Table

 Image Formula Generator

 Image Report Creator

All the modules are seamlessly integrated within an intuitive multi-document interface (MDI). This means that all the windows are located in your program desktop. Four of the fourteen modules (Fragments & Mechanisms, Neural Networks, Spectra Projector, and Components Editor) cannot be directly opened from the program desktop by clicking a button or menu item; they must be generated from user-supplied input data.

Although each of the modules is independent, the program can automatically establish a link between several modules. For example, the program can make a link between the Database Manager window and the Fragments & Mechanisms module. In this case the peaks in a mass spectrum, displayed in the Database Manager module, are linked with mass-to-charge ratios in the Fragments & Mechanisms module. Records in Database Manager can also be linked with objects in the Spectra Classifier and Spectra Projector modules. A simple double-click on these objects gives the spectra (Spectra Classifier) or spectrum (Spectra Projector) that are linked with a particular record in Database Manager. In addition, spectra, structures, and library entries can be exchanged between modules via the Copy and Paste commands.
