Comet parameter: num_output_lines

  • This parameter controls the number of search result hits (peptides) that are reported for each spectrum query.
  • If you are only interested in seeing one top each per query, set this value to 1.
  • The maximum possible number of reported hits is hardcoded into each binary and that value is currently set to 100.
  • Valid values are any positive integer 1 or greater.

Example:
num_output_lines = 1
num_output_lines = 10
