Utility for converting searched mass spec data into a format readable by [CAMV](https://github.com/white-lab/pycamverter/blob/master/README.md).


## Installation

To download a completely packaged Windows executable, visit our [releases page](https://github.com/white-lab/pycamverter/releases)

To install the core pycamverter python library, run the following command:

```
pip install pycamverter
```

## Usage

To use pycamverter, select your raw data file, your search files (either MASCOT .xml or ProteomeDiscoverer .msf), and an optional excel listing scan numbers in a file browser. Then simply drag-and-drop them onto PyCAMVerter.exe.

After a few minutes of processing, you should see the output .camv.gz file in the same directory as your raw file.

For a full list of arguments, run PyCAMVerter.exe from the command line:

```

[--raw_paths RAW_PATHS [RAW_PATHS ...]]
[--search_path SEARCH_PATH] [--scans_path SCANS_PATH]
[--scans [SCANS [SCANS ...]]] [--out_path OUT_PATH]
