Usage:
  DeMeanderize <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <mzML-file>*              Input experiment file, containing the wrongly sorted spectra. (valid formats:
                                 'mzML')
  -out <mzML-file>*             Output experiment file with correctly sorted spectra. (valid formats: 'mzML')

  -num_spots_per_row <integer>  Number of spots in one column, until next row is spotted. (default: '48') 
                                (min: '1')
                                
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>                   Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>                  Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')

  -write_ini <file>             Writes the default configuration file
  --help                        Shows options
