Hi,

I am using msconvert to transform my .raw file acquired on a LTQ Velos
into mzXML file. I performed LC-MS measurements in positive/negative
mode in a single run, therefore my files contain both ion trace (i.e.,
positive and negative). I am trying to extract from my .raw file the
negative ion trace and convert it in mzXML (filter="polarity
negative"). When I am doing that, msconvert ignore my filter (it wrote
back “Ignoring wrapper:…”) and transform my raw data into mzXML file
which contains the negative and positive ion trace. Does anybody know
how to extract each ion trace separately?

thanks a lot for your help, Cédric

What was your exactly command-line and which version of msconvert did you use?

Hi Matt. I used a configuration file (-c) containing the following
information

outdir=Z:\Toxikologie\MSconvert\negmzXMLfiles
mzXML=true
32=true
filter="analyzerType ITMS"
filter="polarity negative"

for the version, it is the one contained with ProteoWizard release
2.1.2596 (ProteoWizard MSdata 2.1.2595, ProteWizardAnalysis 2.1.2587).
Is it the information that you need? Thanks for your help

Interesting. That appears to be a bug in the config file reader. Until it gets fixed, use the
command-line equivalent for filters, i.e.
--filter "analyzerType ITMS" --filter "polarity negative"

Matt, I tried what you suggested. Unfortunately, it didn't work, msconvert still told me that it "ignores the wrapper" (see below). I am able to read the mzXML, but the file contains both positive and negative ion traces. Here are the command lines and messages from msconvert
--------------------------------------------
C:\Users\cbovet>msconvert Z:\Toxikologie\LTQVelos\data\Cedric\CBo_1001_110315A\C

[SpectrumListFactory] Ignoring wrapper: polarity negative
writing output file: Z:/Toxikologie/MSconvert/CBo_1001_110315A_03.mzXML
---------------------------------------------

Do you have another suggestion? Thanks, Cédric

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure about the version of msconvert you're running? "ProteoWizard
release 2.1.2596" shows up when you run msconvert without args?

Ah, that's maybe the point. When I am running msconvert the first time in cmd, it shows me "ProteoWizard release 2.1.2596" at the end. After that, I runned msconvert without args and it shows me ProteoWizard relesae 2.1.2132". What should I do?
Cédric

Here are the cmd lines that I got

Do you have another suggestion? Thanks, Cédric

Overwrite the msconvert in the tpp-bin directory. Or use the full path to the new msconvert
executable, e.g.
c:\path\to\msconvert.exe
