File Format
GCMSsolution uses the file formats described below.
File type Icon Extension File contents
Data file .qgd In addition to the raw data acquired (e.g., chromatograms and spectra),
the following information is saved.
• Calculation results such as area values and concentrations
• Status information such as the oven temperature and error status at
the time data is acquired
• Contents of method files used in analysis (including configuration
settings used for analysis)
• Contents of report format file (when reports are output)
• Contents of batch files (when batch processing is performed)
• Contents of tuning file used in analysis
Method file .qgm Analysis conditions, peak integration parameters, compound tables, etc.
are saved.
Because the configuration settings are saved when the method is edited,
the configuration settings are checked when the method file is loaded to
ensure that they agree with the current settings. Created calibration curves
are also saved in the method file.
Report format
file
.qgr The report format information used to output a report, such as layout
information and detailed settings, is saved.
Once a report format file has been created, it can be used repeatedly to
output reports of the same format.
Batch file .qgb Batch tables used to perform automatic sequential processing are saved.
The same files can be used in both the [GCMS Real Time Analysis]
program and the [GCMS Postrun Analysis] program.
Tuning file .qgt The conditions used to perform instrument adjustment (tuning) and the
tuning results are saved.
Library file .lib These files are used to register the compound information and spectral
data used to perform similarity searches.
The libraries consist of public libraries (e.g., NIST and Wiley) and private
libraries.
