Can be used to calibrate the RTs of peptide hits linearly to standards.

This tool can be used to linearly align RTs of the idXML-File to a reference. If only calibrant_1_input and calibrant_2_input are given, the first calibrant will result at RT 0.1 and calibrant_2_input will be at 0.9. If one wants to align the RTs of this idXML file to the IDs of a reference file one can also give the RTs of the same calibrant in the reference file (calibrant_1_reference, calibrant_2_reference). If these calibrants are given, the linear transformation (shift and scale) will be calculated such that calibrant_1_input will be at the same RT as calibrant_1_reference and calibrant_2_input will be at the same RT as calibrant_2_reference. This only applies if calibrant_1* has a smaller RT than calibrant_2*. Otherwise the values are swapped.

Note: Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

  IDRTCalibration <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*                  Input file  (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -out <file>*                 Output file  (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -calibrant_1_reference <RT>  The RT of the first calibrant in the reference file. (default: '0.1')
