UCC - UniChrom console converter

Surprisingly for many users working with Chromatographic (spectrometric) Datasystems ends up with conversion of datafiles collected during measurement into text file (to process it in Microsoft Excel or place any grapher software here). Most of the datasystem provides exporting data into text or another data format. Problem gets worse when number of files to be converted grows to hundreds or thousands. Overwhelming number of mouse clicks and human work hours just to get one known set of bytes and convert to another known set of bytes.

UniChrom console converter is built from UniChrom source and contains most of the spectral data and file conversion infrastructure. Conversion process implies the following pattern.

  • create new empty UniChrom spectra (4-D container)
  • read known file format and fill the new spectra dimensions appropriately
  • write new dataset of known format and built its structure knowing what UniChrom spectra is

File format details incorporated into file filter modules (converters) which reside in ./conv directory. Collection of file filters shipped with the UniChrom constantly growing.

Conversion of CDS file formats

UCC resides in UniChrom directory and requires for work only ./conv directory contents. Sometimes the ./conv file filters not needed when conversion takes place between UniChrom built-in file formats .uwb, .uwx, uwz, .txt, .csv, .xml

Conversion:

ucc infile.ext outfile.ext

UniChrom-4D

Import/export of multi-dimensional data files is also supported.

Extensibility

Skilled users can develop their own CDS file format using UniChrom-DDK. Just copy newly-developed file filter into ./conv directory.
