Preferences This section of the Export Peak to NIST dialog includes the following.
•
Filename
- This is the default filename that is set in the NIST MS Search database in
Chromion Preferences which is available in the Edit main menu. The filename can be
changed in the Export Peak to NIST dialog and will change the Preferences setting on
the NIST tab.
• Peak Name - This field displays the unknown spectrum seconds and scan number as
well as the path and filename of the data file.
•
Append/Overwrite - The Append option will add the spectra to the last file that was
created with the new spectra. The Overwrite option replaces the file with the single
spectra. These options allow the user to send multiple or single spectra to the NIST
spectrum file for viewing in the NIST MS Search software.

Ions This section allows editing of the masses before sending them to the spectrum file.
• Add - To add a mass click the green button with the plus sign. This will add a blank line
at the bottom of the mass list in which to type in the new mass with the relative
intensity.
•
Delete - To remove an ion select it by clicking on it and then clicking the red button
with the minus sign and the mass will be deleted from the list. There is not a popup
message to warn the user that a mass will be removed.

then reopen the dialog again.
