Comet

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 hit each per query, set this value to 1.
• This parameter value cannot be larger than the value entered for "num_results" which itself is limited to a maximum value of 100.
• Valid values are any positive integer 1 or greater.
• If a value less than 1 is entered, this parameter is set to 1.
• The default value is "10" if this parameter is missing.

Example:
num_output_lines = 1
num_output_lines = 5
num_output_lines = 10
