HCDFT.pf2 file not found

Dear All,

I encountered the following error when running pLink 3.

In the multi-process mode:
[ERROR] Traceback (most recent call last):
File "MultiProcess.py", line 78, in
File "MultiProcess.py", line 70, in _main
File "mp_flow.py", line 623, in mp_flow.flow_auto
File "mp_flow.py", line 65, in mp_flow.sort_raw
File "mp_flow.py", line 39, in mp_flow.stat_pf2_spec_num
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\yingl\OneDrive\Desktop\XL_MS\LUM2_1263774_HCDFT.pf2'
[PYI-31552:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'MultiProcess' due to unhandled exception!

In the multi-thread mode:
[pLink] Start searching C:\Users\yingl\OneDrive\Desktop\XL_MS\LUM2_1263774_HCDFT.pf2, Labeling None
[ERROR]

It seems that pLink is expecting a HCDFT.pf2 file, which is missing. There is only a CIDFT.pf2 file extracted from my RAW data. I suspect my data may have been acquired using CID fragmentation only. Is there a way to run the analysis without the HCDFT.pf2 file?

Thanks!

Problem solved! Just used the extracted CIDFT.pf2 file as the MS data input. It worked.

This is great. Searching CID-FT data can also be found in the tutorial: searching CID-FT data
