Import MS Chromatogram
The shape of dialog for importing the data to MS Chromatogram window invoked using the File - Import Chromatogram… menu command depends on the format from which the MS data are imported. For import from *.cdf format, the dialog opened is MS Import AIA File dialog (slightly modified from the standard Import AIA File dialog). For import from *.mzData, *.mzML and *.mzXML formats, the Import MS Data File dialog is opened. Both dialogs share most of their features in common.
Allows to select a preset from the list of stored import presets. A preset can be created / deleted / managed using the 
button.
Radio-button deciding whether the settings for the import will be applied just to Current File selected (the one as defined by the AIA File/File field) or to All n Files selected for import (if multiple are selected).
Choose method whose parameters (integration table, attached calibration, etc.) will be applied into the imported chromatogram. By default, displayed method matches method in the Single Analysis dialog. Leaving this field blank applies default parameters.
Name of the imported file including directory path.
m/z Signals Extracted from the Spectrum
Defines which signals should be extracted from the spectral data and stored to the chromatogram as standard signals. Up to four signals are allowed, with the m/z precision being limited by the m/z Step value of the chromatogram.
Note:
If the specified m/z value is outside the measured spectrum in the imported chromatogram, the measured value closest to this value is used instead.
Defines the precision of the m/z values being imported, set in amu (atomic mass unit) or Da (Dalton). While the Auto checkbox is checked, the import mechanism will decide the optimal m/z Step itself, unchecking it allows the user to select the desired value. Setting the value manually too low will create unnecessary larger data, setting it manually too low will cause the loss off the m/z precision.
Defines the sampling frequency of the spectral data being imported. While the Auto checkbox is checked, the import mechanism will decide the optimal frequency itself, unchecking it allows the user to select the desired value.
Note:
Setting the Frequency too low manually will create chromatograms with less-then-ideal data points and non-ideal peak shapes, setting it too high manually will cause artificial points to be created where the real ones are missing. The artificial points are created as a linear interpolation between existing points.
Name and location of the resultant chromatogram created after importing the spectral file. By design, the program will store the original name of the imported file along with the *.PRM suffix and the path to the directory of the current project.
To select another name and location of the resultant chromatogram, open the Save As... dialog using the 
button.
