I have a Perkin-Elmer ITD (really a Finnigan ITD with a Perkin-Elmer
8420 GC) and I am running the Finnigan ITDS version 4.10 software. Since
this software is no longer supported (the Finnigan web page lists this
software a obsolete) I was wondering if anyone had up-dated versions of
this software and or libraries for this software that I might be able to
get a copy of. We use this instrument for instrumental analytical
chemistry lab and better software and library searching capabilities
would allow for better (more real world) labs.
I would assume that this is not considered illegal since the software is
obsolete and no longer supported.
Yes I know that several companies make special software that can be used
to convert the ITDS into chemstation-type chromatagrams, but our budget
for this instrument is whatever I happen to have in my pocket at the
moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can use AMDIS from NIST - it works with IDTS and ITS40 files
(remember to choose Finnigan IDTS form the Analyze Settings)
Its really powerfull and you can download a 32-bit version from NIST
and a handbook and library conversion... (following a review :-)

Or you can use WSearch from Frank Antolasic (but maybe only ITS40)
http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~rcmfa/search.htm

Assuming you have a chemstation  - you can export spectra from AMDIS to your
NIST-library.

Kind regards
Tobias

PS:
Assuming  you have a quarter in your pocket :-)
