Thanks for you interest in the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) Spectral Database.

Please send all submissions to Ingrid.Ulbrich@colorado.edu, with "AMS Spectral Database"
in the subject.  Your comments on the database (structure, categories, etc) are also welcomed.



DATA FORMATS

Unit-resolution data will be posted as one wave with 301 points, where point number = m/z 
(so wave[44] is m/z 44).  You can send it in this format, or I can change it if you submit 
it differently.

Data formats have not been established for high-resolution data.  Please submit a wave with 
signal and a corresponding wave of amu values.



MAKING AN ITX

To submit your data, please prepare your data as an itx (Igor text file).  
	1.  From the pull-down menus, Go to Data -> Save Waves -> Save Igor Text...

	2.  Choose the appropriate wave(s).  If your wave is not scaled in x by m/z, please
	    also provide an amu wave(s).  It's ok to put waves for multiple database entries
	    in the same itx as long as they have clear names.

	3.  Do it!



SENDING THE INFORMATION

Send the itx along with the following information for EACH SPECTRUM.  Filling out the html 
table below will expedite the inclusion of your spectra to the database.
