PEAKS reads all PKL files produced from .trans files via the conversion tool embedded in the VarianMS software for Varian Data. The .trans type data (raw) is converted in Varian programs by clicking:
“File” > “Save As”, then selecting the .pkl file format
or by clicking “File” > right clicking “Export”, then selecting “.pkl”. If you are viewing a chromatogram with the Varian software, all the spectral data in the viewed chromatogram are converted to the .pkl format. If you are viewing a single spectrum and choose to convert the data, only the viewed spectra will be converted.
For instructions on how to load your data (after it has been extracted) into PEAKS click here or see the PEAKS User Manual.
