The Viewer module can either be used to get some prior information out of loaded raw files or to find some follow up hypotheses after raw files have already been processed.

1 Raw files prior processing

To view MS spectra of raw files, load the files using the Load (to load single files) or Load folder (to load a whole folder) options.

File organization is important for the correct display of annotated spectra. Raw files should be in the same folder as all index files, the mqpar.xml file and all output folders created by MaxQuant during the processing (that includes the combined folder). The easiest way to load the entire data is to load the mqpar.xml file. Make sure that the file paths are correct if using this option.
