Using Quant, how do I average properties like RT, area, and ion ratio?

Setup: I have a 1260 with auto sampler feeding a 6495 using 7.0 for acquisition and data analysis.

Goal: Average properties like RT, Area, and ion ratio for successive injections using Quantitative Analysis.

Example: From the following injection sequence, I'd like to calculate the average and standard deviation of the RT, peak area response, and ion ratio between my target and qualifier ions for the Precision and Low/Med/High Accuracy sample groups. I can do this with Excel by exporting a CSV but I'd rather set up a Quant method and PDF reporting to perform this to minimize the amount of data interpretation.

 

How do I average properties of successive injections?

 

23 JUN 2020 Edit: It looks like there is the ability to run scripts and expressions as part of the report builder using Python for .NET; Are there any examples available of expressions or scripts that I can use to write my own? Nothing comes up immediately when I searched.

I did find the Report Builder Familiarization guide available here. Is there anything else describing the types of variables that are available or any sort of debugging environment?

  • Ah, try our atandard 3000hanover and let me know if that does not work.

  • Thanks , that password worked to unlock the zip file. One down...

     

    After running your script I get an error that RepositoryRevisionNumber isn't there. Digging through the XML, I found reference to it in 53-55 of BatchInfo.py. After commenting those lines out, I get the included pdf so success on that front.

     

    I'm using B.08 and the example you gave is using 10; my first guess is that DataProvider.BatchAttributes has RepositoryRevisionNumber in 10 but not in B.08. I'd inspect the variables via Visual Studio to validate this but when I start DepugPythonReporting.py with a break at line 53 of BatchInfo.py I get the following error:

     

    Error: Unknown command line parameter - QuantReportMethodRun.exe

    Per the reporting developer's guide and comments on this forum I'm using VS 2015 w/ Python tools and IronPython 2.7.5. I don't normally use VS so I may have missed something during setup of the debugger.

     

    I added the following as my script path which is where I suppose the error originates:

     

    QuantReportMethodRun.exe –BP=C:\MassHunter\Data\QuantExamples\QQQ\DrugsOfAbuse\QuantResults\ –BF=DrugsOfAbuseDemo.batch.bin -M=C:\Users\User\Documents\Test Scripts for Quant\QualityMetrics\test_method_please_ignore.m –OP=C:\Users\User\Documents\Test Scripts for Quant\Temp

    DebugPythonReporting.py looks like it's pointing correctly:

    import clr
    import sys

    import System

    # append quant path
    # modify path if necessary
    sys.path.append(
    "C:\\Program Files\\Agilent\\MassHunter\\Workstation\\Quant\\bin")

    # add debug dll path
    sys.path.append(
    System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(__file__)))

    # load debug tool
    clr.AddReference("QuantDebugTools")

    import Agilent
    # run
    Agilent.MassSpectrometry.DataAnalysis.Quantitative.DebugTools.RunPython.RunReport(sys.argv[1:])

    I can also see QuantReportMethodRun.exe in C:\Program Files\Agilent\MassHunter\Workstation\Quant\bin.

     

    Any thoughts on what I'm missing for my debugger setup?

  • Hi ,

     

    I tested this with my MH Quant 10 and it is working. As you're using older software version I would just copy 'QualityMetrics.report.xml' and 'Codes\QualityMetrics.py' files to your default direct report template folder '\MassHunter\Report Templates\Quant\PDF-Reporting'. These are only files that have been modified.

     

    Regarding VS, unfortunately I can't help you at that topic as I don't have it installed and am unable to reproduce the error. In this case we may get report template to work without it as file generating the error was not modified and so older versions may be used.

     

    Hope this helps and you should be good when you get the report generated.

  • I can confirm that the report will work in B.08.x and that all you need are the report template and the corresponding code file as mentions in his post.

     

    I can also confirm that RepositoryRevisionNumber did not exist in the B.08.x data set, so it is fine to comment that out or revert back to your original BatchInfo.py file.

     

    For the issues with report debugging, the path for the -BP flag should point to the directory that contains the results folder, not the results folder itself. What is probably making it really unhappy are the spaces in the path for your output folder. You could try putting that path in quotes but probably best to choose/create a simpler path name with no spaces. 

     

    I am able to successfully run the report debugging project with the following Script Arguments.

    -BP=D:\MassHunter\Data\QuantExamples\QQQ\DrugsOfAbuse -BF=DrugsOfAbuseDemo.batch.bin -M=D:\MassHunter\Data\QuantExamples\QQQ\DrugsOfAbuse\DOA_ReportMethod.m -OP=D:\MassHunter\Data\QuantExamples\QQQ\DrugsOfAbuse\QuantReports

    Script Arguments are entered in the Debug section under the Project properties dialog

    Updating from hypen to forward slash in the script argument fixed the issue; spaces are also bad/weird probably because of the way most .NET programs use CommandLineToArgvW. New Script Arguments reads as:

    /BatchPath=C:\temp\ /BatchFile=DrugsOfAbuseDemo.batch.bin /Method=C:\temp\test_method_please_ignore.m /OutputPath=C:\temp\report

    New error: 

    Error: Batch file 'DrugsOfAbuseDemo.batch.bin' does not exist
    Press any key to continue . . .

    The file is clearly there. Specifying full path for /BatchFile fixes this. New script argument reads as:

    /BatchPath=C:\temp\ /BatchFile=C:\temp\DrugsOfAbuseDemo.batch.bin /Method=C:\temp\test_method_please_ignore.m /OutputPath=C:\temp\report

    And I can suddenly browse variables in debug mode!

     

    Thank you both!

  • Interestingly, I still need to supply a full path for the batch file.
