Using QuiXoT

See also the article: DataGrid information in QuiXoT.

QuiXoT makes use of a QuiXML files, which is an ad hoc XML format created to manage the three levels of information treated: identification, quantitation and statistical information. To check a list of the different fields used in QuiXML files (i.e., the columns appearing in the main window of QuiXoT), you can check the article DataGrid information in QuiXoT.

After dragging and dropping the QuiXML file, you will have to choose the quantitation method.

If you just want to see an existing QuiXoT analysis, you only need the corresponding QuiXML file. Just drag and drop that file on the main form, and select the quantitation method used, which will depend on the SIL method used (such as 18O, SILAC, etc) and the spectrometre used (sich as high or low resolution).
