1.1 ,This guide covers the implementation of the Mass Spectrometric Data Protocol in analytical software applications. Implementation of this protocol requires:
1.1.1 ,Specification E2077, which contains the full set of data definitions. The mass spectrometric data protocol is not based upon any specific implementation, it is designed to be independent of any particular implementation so that implementations can change as technology evolves. The protocol is implemented in categories to speed its acceptance through actual use.
