Hi Skyline team!

I am a new user to AUTOQC. AutoQC is unable to import/find my existing files although the appropriate data folder is provided in the Folder to watch: field in the AutoQC Configuration settings. Please help me.

Current log message.

Hi Sonnet,

I assume you have the correct instrument selected in your AutoQC Loader configuration. You have "Masslynx" in your file path so I am guessing that the data to be imported are in .raw directories. Can you please send me the AutoQC.log file for this configuration? You will find it in the same directory on your computer as your Skyline file.

Thanks,
Vagisha

Hi Vigashi,

Thank you for your assistance. I have Waters selected in AutoQC Loader configuration. Please find the AutoQC.log file attached.

Best! S

Hi Sonnet,

I see the problem. You are using a "Contains" filter for the raw data you want to import, and you are giving comma-separated values as input to the filter:

BMP_NEG_QC, BMP_Neg_QC, BMP_QC

Unfortunately, AutoQC Loader does not let you specify more than one string as input to the "Contains" filter so it is trying to find .raw directories that match the entire string above. You could try using the "Regular Expression" filter instead for this case. Something like this could work:
BMP_(|(N|n)(E|e)(G|g)_)QC

Thanks,
Vagisha
