- SPECBOOK 2.0 FOR WINDOWS 95 or NT
- SpecBook 2.0 is a manager of Mass Spectral data. Mass Spectroscopy is very
- powerful structural analysis technique used by many chemists and biochemists.
- This software is designed to help researchers to store and retrieve Mass
- Spectra on their PC's. This product is a freeware for personal and
- educational use and can be freely distributed if original executable file
- as well as sample database files are not changed in any way. Author
- would appreciate any comments and suggestions. You can contact author
- by e-mail at psimakov@sun.science.wayne.edu. Source code will be provided
- upon request. This program is written in Delphi 2.0.

- IMPORT.
- SpecBook was designed to directly import data generated by HP ChemStation
- software, which is a standard for HP GC / MassSpect. In order to import
- data user has to Tabulate Spectrum (one of the menu functions of ChemStation
- Data Analysis Main Window) and copy generated table into Clipboard. Inside
- SpecBook Import - Import HP data menu choice should be selected. Click OK
- to load data from clipboard (alternatively data file can be selected). Now
- SpecBook will automatically create database entries and MS Spectra.
- Sample of HP data file is enclosed. Described Import routine can be used
- to import variety of ASCII data files. I believe that procedure will fit
- most of ASCII file structures. Algorithm of Import routine is outlined
- below:
-
- 1. take next line of text file
- 2. if first character is not number go to 1.
- 3. if first character is number go to 4.
- 4. read number (this is m/e), skip next alpha characters until second number
- found and read second number (abandance)
- 5. try to find more numbers in the same line, if found go to 4, if not found
- go to 1.
