3. Browsing and opening from SBase
The functions to browse, search, or open files from your Sbase are all placed in the “File” drop down menu
on the top left of the Amix Viewer screen.
The easiest function to use is “Sbase Browser”, this function will open a window on the left side of your
Amix viewer which
allows you to manually
browse your Sbase.
Firstly you will see a
list of all Spectral
Bases that have

software. Click the
database you wish to
browse, and a drop

spectra, molecular and
info files currently

(Screenshot 21). Clicking these files will open them in the Amix- Viewer. This method of manually opening
compounds is very comfortable but it is not efficient for large Sbases, or for opening groups of specific
spectra.
Another method for opening spectra or compounds from your Sbase is to use
the “Open file from Sbase”, or the “ Open compound from Sbase” functions found under the “File” drop
down menu.
“Open file from Sbase” will allow you to specifically search for one, or a set of spectra in your Sbase using
either name, experiment type, properties such as Keys, or any combination of these.
Once you select this function you will see a window on your screen in which you can specify which Sbase
you wish to search and your search parameter (Screenshot 22). Here you have to select which set of
parameters to use in the check-boxes on top. Searching for compounds by “Name “will allow you to enter
compound name, and experiment type as search parameters. Searching by “Properties” will allow you to
search for spectra, by Keys or for other defined data such as peaks, molecular data, or titles (only search by
Key is in the scope of this manual). The Sbase can also be searched for a combination of properties and
names, this is the most specific search option. If you choose to search compounds by “Name” the fields
