How to convert .D file from Mass Hunter software to .cdf file

Hello,

I added tags to this post to increase visibility.

If this is single quad GCMS data, you can use MSD ChemStation data analysis to export your raw data to AIA format (option found in the file dropdown menu).

So far I have not found a way to do this using MassHunter. I will continue looking into it and let you know as I find out more.

If you have the MSD Chemstation enhanced data analysis installed, it has an option to export to AIA which  has ".CDF" as the extension.

From the "File" menu item, choose "Export Data to AIA format."

The GCMS Translator program has a hidden and not fully supported feature that will convert MassHunter .D filed to netCDF/AIA format.  It only works for MS data (no MS/MS) and unit mass (no TOF).  You will find the installer on the GCMS Supplemental disk.

Once it is installed you must create a special desktop icon to run it in AIA Export mode.

1) Copy and paste the shipping icon

2) Rename the copy to "AIA Export"

3) Edit the Target entry in the Properties Dialog Replace the "/Menu" command at the end of the string with "/AIACreate"

4) Hit OK

5) Start the new program with a double click on the "AIA Export" icon

6) Navigate to the folder containing a set of .D data files and hit translate.

7) The .cdf data files will appear in the same folder as the .D file and have the same name.  The .ms file is not important and may be deleted.

God luck!

We are using GC/Q-TOF data not single quad GCMS data.

I can only see this

Unfortunately, it does not look like there is currently an option to export GCMS QTOF data to AIA format. Both MSD Chemstation and the GCMS Translator (as described by Im_a_lumberjack in his reply) are only compatible with single quad data.
