Instrument Application Programming Interface for the Thermo Fisher Scientific Fusion- and Exactive-series Mass Spectrometers.
Tribrid Series 3.5 has been released! Use of the IAPI with Tune 3.5 requires a patch, available here.
This repository is intended to be used for scholarly research, and is therefore made available as-is. Ongoing maintenance and support is not generally available; however, issues and improvements will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Versioning for the API will follow Semantic Versioning. Major version changes reflect breaking changes to the public API. Minor version changes reflect backwards-compatible feature additions. And patch version changes reflect backwards-compatible bug fixes. Versioning for Tune does not follow semantic versioning as there is no public API associated with it directly.
| Module | Version | Date |

Some basic usage examples. These are just parital code snippets and require the proper setup to run correctly. They are here to provide a flavor of what is possible with the IAPI.
Registers an event handler whenever a new spectrum arrives from the instrument.
// API access to a Fusion MS
IFusionInstrumentAccess instAccess = <else where>;
// Get the first scan container for the instrument
var scanContainer = instAccess.GetMsScanContainer(0);
// Add an event handler for whenever a spectrum has arrived from the instrument
scanContainer.MsScanArrived += spectrumArrived;
// The event handler
void spectrumArrived(object sender, MsScanEventArgs e)
{
// get the spectrum from the sending scan container
var spectrum = e.GetScan();
