Export Chromatogram as CSV (time vs. response - not peak reports)

Hi,


I'm looking to export the chromatogram as a CSV as chemstation was able to do.  I want just the raw time vs. response.   I don't want any peaks/areas/area% etc.  Nothing that is a result of processing.   OpenLabs manual suggest a method, but the only options are EMF and PNG.  I don't want a graphical picture, I want the raw x,y values. 

 

 

We use this exported data for performance verification through our own software and data analysis.  Is this possible to achieve with the OpenLabs 2.2 CDS Workstation? 

 

 


Thanks!

  • Hi dubang69,

     

    unfortunately you cannot, at least with this tool. The .CH format of a FID channel and the open netCDF format are totally different.

     

    There are two way to do the conversion: number one is load the .CH in Chemstation software and export it as CDF or use the open source software OpenChrom, that can read multiple file formats and export them directly to xy files.

     

    There is a discussion in Reddit where someone offers a Matlab script to do the conversion, but I never tried it. Maybe the discussion helps.

     

    And finally there is a Python script that might be able do it at PyExpLabSys (PyExpLabSys.file_parsers.chemstation), but I didn't try that either.

     

    Success.

     

    PS: Here are two Matlab scripts for .D/.MS/.CH and .CDF import I just found.
