Processing FAIMS sweeps from Thermo Xcalibur files

This tutorial outlines a method for processing 1D and 2D FAIMS scans that have been generated on Thermo Mass Specs using ultraFAIMS instruments controlled using the standalone control software. The raw data files contain time-based chromatograms. For comparison across data files, it is usually necessary to convert the time axis to a compensation field axis. A process for doing this is described here, and an excel template to facilitate this is attached.
