Hi Matt,

Thanks for the explanation. Would appreciate if you could elaborate
more on how periods, cycles and experiments are defined w.r.t
conventional data-dependent acquisition schemes. :)


There's another problem that I observed, that in the generated mzXML
file, with or without peakPicking, I could only view the m/z range of
600-800. Do you know the reason for this? This was verified using
InSilicos and Pep3d. I haven't tried to convert the Sha encrypted
peaks to confirm, thought it would be easier to confirm first with
you. Thanks heaps for all your help!
