Overview
AirdPro converts mass-spectrometry vendor data into the Aird storage format through a graphical batch-conversion workflow. Aird separates compressed spectral arrays from a JSON index for access through the companion SDKs.

Scope and considerations
Designed for
- AirdPro converts mass-spectrometry vendor data into the Aird storage format through a graphical batch-conversion workflow.
Not designed for
- Feature detection, metabolite identification or a guarantee that every vendor file is readable on every operating system.
Important requirements
- A compatible AirdPro installation and vendor readers supplied through ProteoWizard; preserve each Aird binary together with its matching JSON index.
Considerations
- Select and document compression and precision settings. Precision-controlled lossy conversion requires assessment against the downstream scientific use.
