importing cdf (raw) from Waters

[crestre]

I am using a Waters hplc instrument and tried opening their .cdf files - The message that I receive reads "Error in fn(file = file, data_format = data_format, format_out = format_out, :
The cdf MS format is not yet supported by an internal chromConverter parser.
Please try the OpenChrom msd parser instead."

From you page (https://ethanbass.github.io/chromConverter/) it seems that it might be possible to read Waters .raw files through rainbow. Please could you tell me how would this work?

Just in case I am including a Waters cdf file.

Thanks,
Carla

Hi Carla,

CDF is a different format than Waters .raw. You should be able to parse these files using openchrom parsers. You will need to download Open Chrom (see the instructions in the read me). Then you can try:
call_openchrom(<path_to_file>, format_in="msd", export_format="mzml")

(If you have the .raw files you may be able to read these with the rainbow parser).

P.S. In the future could you please post questions about file conversions on the chromConverter page? (https://github.com/ethanbass/chromConverter/issues). Thanks!

Hi Ethan,
Sorry - I sent an answer to the chromConverter page
