MSConvert filters for SWATH data #3388

Hi! I am very new to coding and am attempting to convert my wiff2 SWATH data files to mzML format, with the goal to conduct unknown + retrospective data analysis. I wanted to know if there are best practice recommendations for applying filters prior to the conversion. As the acquisition is untargeted, I want minimal filters applied so that we can still capture everything. I am mainly looking to keep it at our acquisition windows (100-550 for precursor, 25-550 for SWATH), ionization mode, and a minimum peak height to filter out noise. I am not finding too much in the literature about how filters are applied specifically for SWATH data, so any help is truly appreciated.

It really depends what you're going to do with it in downstream analysis. You can always just convert without filters and see what you get with SeeMS or another viewer.
