The new internal file format ".ims" decreases strongly files size on the disk (from 10 to 40 times smaller than previous versions).
This performance is obtained by a new lossless compression algorithm which exploits redundancy in raw data to reduce files size without loosing any information.
New features for importing MS and MS/MS data
Speed and memory requirements while importing your data were massively improved.
A new import interface allows you to run conversion in parallel of your session work. It also allows you to:
Choose sampling steps and preview imported MS data.
Choose extraction regions into MS data.
Choose sampling steps and extraction mass ranges for MS/MS data.
Support for three new MS files format was added (mzData, t2d, fid).
Support for MS/MS data import and management was introduced. Now MSight handles:
MS/MS data included in mass spectrometers files.
Results of MS/MS identifications made with Phenyx tool.
Navigation and useability improvements
Improved Mass Spectrum and Chromatogram reports simplify creation and navigation in the plots.
Measures and navigations actions (zoom, synchronisation between plot and image, ...) can now be done in a very simple way.
The redesigned 3D view offers a fairly improved tool for MS-Runs visualisation. 3D view images can be displayed side-by-side or in stack mode (with transparence mode and animation mode) allowing to perceive differences among images.
Interactions with 3D view are now based on mouse motion. With a simple move of mouse you can zoom in, zoom out, rotate, ... in a more intuitive way than in previous versions.
And much more:
New interface for Sheet Layout Definition.
New Measure Tool to easily measure distances between two points.
New Auto-number type for user's annotation allowing you to quickly create labels containing unique number.
Undo/Redo on workspace actions: Adding, deleting, moving, editing can easily be undone by a simple click.
