This page contains the beta IDL-CDF patch ( Version 3.5.0.0) based on Has anyone else encountered this problem? We'd be very grateful if anyone knows a way round it.CDF Patch for IDL 6.2 and later, including IDL 7.* and 8.* I'm scared that the developers of XCMS and Chemstation may be at cross-purposes in their understanding of cdf format, and we'll get caught up between two groups of people declaring the other to be at fault, or they'll both tell me (politely) I'm too stupid to use XCMS, which is quite possibly true. XCMS in R for windows will open cdf files generated on other instruments.

Secondly, once we've done this, XCMS crashes when we open the Agilent cdf files ('The R for windows GUI has encountered a problem and has to close'). Firstly, it can only convert files with 8 or less letters in their name, although the newer versions of Chemstation, when using prefix+number file naming, will only produce filenames with 9 or more letters, so we have to change all the file names before the converter will work. Agilent's built-in converter is giving us nightmares. We'd like to use XCMS to process data, running in R for Windows. We use Agilent's Chemstation (LC-MS) and are currently on version B-03-01 SR1.
