Comet parameter: scan_range
- Defines the scan range to search. Only spectra within (and inclusive) of the specified
scan range are searched.
- This parameter works only with mzXML and mzML inputs files.
- Two digits are specified for this parameter. The first digit is the start scan and the
second digit is the end scan.
- As of now, it looks like the first digit must be an MS/MS scan.
- When the start scan is set to 0, this parameter setting is ignored irrespective of what
the end scan is set to.
- When the end scan is less than the start scan, this parameter setting is ignored.
- The default value is "0 0" if this parameter is missing.
Example:
scan_range = 0 0 search all scans
scan_range = 0 1000 search all scans (because first entry is 0)
scan_range = 1000 1500 search only scans 1000 to 1500
