Windows graphical user interface tool for viewing LC-MS data and identifications.
LCMS raw data and MSGF+ results viewer
LcmsSpectator is a standalone Windows graphical user interface tool for viewing LC-MS data and identifications.
It takes a single or multiple Thermo raw files (*.raw) or MzML file and shows MS and MS/MS spectra as well as precursor and product ion chromatograms as resizable, floatable tabbed-documents.
Identification and target files can also be loaded to show the spectral and chromatographic evidence. The tool currently supports MS-GF+ and MSPathFinder tab-delimited results.
It uses Informed-Proteomics for reading spectrum files and can function as a GUI for ProMex and MSPathFinder.
A guide for using LCMS-Spectator can be found on our GitHub Wiki Page.

However, if the software is extended or modified, then any subsequent publications should include a more extensive statement, as shown in the Readme file for the given application or on the website that more fully describes the application.
