This operation allows you to associate Mascot identifications from a HTM Mascot report file with a Maldi plate.
This operation has been designed to effectively manage experiments involving several Maldi plates and different sets of Mascot identifications. This way, instead of loading them separately and associating them in the momment of analyzing Spots data in the Integrated analysis view, users can associate all Maldi plates and Mascot identifications once, save them as a CSV file and then reusing this associated set of Spot Mascot identifications.
Usage

A dialog will appear allowing you to select the source HTM Mascot report file and MPL Maldi plate file. As you can see in the following image, this dialog requires you to provide the following information:
