P: Skyline mass spectrum (single-dataset)

Brief description

Generate skyline mass spectrum based on fraction of the pixels. Rather than summing or averaging pixel intensities, this task will use the maximum intensity for each m/z.

Parameters

Filename (type - string)

Filename to use for the object. This can be very helpful when you want to e.g. compare or export spectra

Proportion (type - number)

Proportion of pixels to use for the task.

Normalization tag (type - string)

Tag to use for normalization.

Help

Rather than applying a normalization to the entire dataset, we apply it as needed to each task at hand.
You can compare the effect normalization has on specific task by repeating it with different normalization.
In some cases, its advised to use 'multi-dataset' normalization, in particular when doing comparisons.

Normalization name (type - string)

Name of the normalization.

Attributes

Attribute Value Description
Multiple allowed True Allow multiple instances of this task in a workflow.
Task can fail False Task is optional and can fail without causing the entire workflow to fail.
Step can fail False Sub-tasks of this task can fail without causing the entire task (and workflow) to fail.
Requires ion mobility False Task requires ion mobility data.
Task can fail (with ion mobility) False This task uses ion mobility data but it is allowed to fail, without causing the entire workflow to fail.
Allowed in reference dataset True Task is to be performed on a 'reference' dataset. This will allow for multiple analyses to be performed on the same dataset, without cluttering or duplicating certain tasks (unused at the moment).
