any tool/instrument producing merge able files | any tool operating merged files (e.g. XTandemAdapter) |
The meta information that is valid for the whole experiment (e.g. MS instrument and sample) is taken from the first file.
The retention times for the individual scans are taken from either:

FileMerger -- Merges several MS files into one file. Version: 2.0.0 Mar 30 2016, 12:52:33, Revision: GIT-NOTFOUND Usage: FileMerger <options> Options (mandatory options marked with '*'): -in <files>* Input files separated by blank (valid formats: 'mzData', 'mzXML', 'mzML', 'dta', 'dta2d', 'mgf', 'featureXML', 'consensusXML', 'fid', 'traML') -in_type <type> Input file type (default: determined from file extension or content) (valid: 'mzDat a', 'mzXML', 'mzML', 'dta', 'dta2d', 'mgf', 'featureXML', 'consensusXML', 'fid', 'traML') -out <file>* Output file (valid formats: 'mzML', 'featureXML', 'consensusXML', 'traML') -annotate_file_origin Store the original filename in each feature using meta value "file_origin" (for featureXML and consensusXML only). Flags for non-featureXML input/output: -raw:rt_auto Assign retention times automatically (integers starting at 1) -raw:rt_custom <rt> List of custom retention times that are assigned to the files. The number of given retention times must be equal to the number of given input file. -raw:rt_filename If this flag is set FileMerger tries to guess the rt of the file name. This option is useful for merging DTA file, which should contain the string 'rt' directly followed by a floating point number: i.e. my_spectrum_rt2795.15.dta -raw:ms_level <num> This option is useful for use with DTA files which does not contain MS level inform ation. The given level is assigned to the spectra. (default: '2') -raw:user_ms_level If this flag is set, the MS level given above is used Common TOPP options: -ini <file> Use the given TOPP INI file -threads <n> Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1') -write_ini <file> Writes the default configuration file --help Shows options --helphelp Shows all options (including advanced)
