Comet parameter: precursor_charge

  • This parameter specifies the precursor charge range to search.
  • This parameter expects to integer values as input.
  • If the first input value is 0 then this parameter is ignored and all charge states are searched
  • If the first input value is not 0 then all charge states between (and inclusive of) the first and second input values are searched.

Example:
precursor_charge = 0 0     search all charge ranges
precursor_charge = 0 2     search all charge ranges (because first entry is 0)
precursor_charge = 2 6     search 2+ to 6+ precursors
precursor_charge = 3 3     search 3+ precursors
