MOMA XINA Migration
Documentation to ease the transition to "New XINA".
Overview
This document is intended as an overview of New XINA, with basic things you should know.
New Terminology
Some XINA terms have changed, to be more accurate or to better support a variety of missions.
| New XINA | Definition | Related Old XINA Terms |
|---|---|---|
| Mnemonic | a named data channel or field | hk, housekeeping, or housekeeping field |
| Event | a time with a label; might be an Instant, which is just one moment in time, or it might be an Interval, with a start and end. | a category that includes TIDs, markers, messages, alerts, spectra, and more |
| Spectrum | a multi-dimensional data set associated with a single time or time range | a category that includes scans |
| Nominal Range | a green, yellow, or red value range for a particular mnemonic | a category that includes limits, expected values, and more |
| Notebook | a digital lab journal | journal |
XINA Navigation
Coming soon
Tools
XINA tools are now divided into three broad categories.
Visualization
Visualization tools are primarily focused on looking at data within XINA, like charts and tables. Most of them also support some sort of data export.
- The Mnemonic Plot and Mnemonic Trending tools plot mnemonic data; the former against a single time range and the latter against many.
- The Events tool centers around a table of events and can group them in arbitrary ways.
- The Spectra Viewer is what you need for science data, and gives many options for presentation and organization.
- The Nominal Range Trending tool is a new option for instrument health reports, using a table that checks mnemonics against nominal ranges at specified intervals.
- The Diagram Viewer and Diagram Simulator animate custom dashboards and diagrams with mnemonic and event data. The Viewer uses real data, and the Simulator is designed around simple human-readable "sequence files".
Exporting
Export tools are built around downloadable data sets and reports. While other tools may support exporting data, these tools are only for exporting.
- The Mnemonic Export and Mnemonic Trend Export tools allow you to perform or automate high-volume data exports. They're ideal when you want to look at months of data at a time.
- The Packages tool is the best way to browse existing export products.
Management
Management tools are designed for advanced users to control XINA data and operations.
- The Mnemonic Management tool is for managing mnemonics, particularly correcting issues with definitions and aliases.
- The Model Management tool helps with managing mining processes and scheduled tasks.
- The Nominal Range Management tool is for managing nominal ranges. It also supports exporting the definitions in various formats.
- The Diagram Editor allows you to set up the diagrams used by the Diagram Viewer and Simulator.
Functional Analogues
This reference maps Old XINA tools and features to New XINA workflows. For any given thing you might have done in an Old XINA tool, how can you do it now?
Old XINA Tools
Alerts
Implemented in the Events tool
Full support coming soon.
HK
Primarily implemented in the Mnemonic Plot tool
The Mnemonic Plot tool functions very similarly to the HK tool, except:
- Any time range can be selected
- The zoom chart is not needed
| Old XINA | New XINA |
|---|---|
| Change the model | Interface is unchanged. |
| Search and select a TID | Use the "Select Time Range" card's TID Search tab. |
| Select comparison TIDs | Use the Mnemonic Trending tool to select multiple disjoint time ranges. |
| Change housekeeping bin mode | Change bin sizes or disable altogether in the "Binning" dropdown in the top left. For marker bins, use the Mnemonic Trending tool. |
| Quick-select an ESOH | Use the Plot Configurations offcanvas in the top right. You can also "favorite" individual mnemonics by clicking their stars in the "Select Mnemonics" card. |
| Search and select housekeeping channels | Use the "Select Mnemonics" card. |
| View and manage expected values | Management is most easily done through the Nominal Range Export tool, but can be done in the Mnemonic Plot tool like so: If the Nominal Ranges table is not already visible, above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then check "Show Nominal Ranges". To create a new Nominal Range, click the "+" button at the top right of the table. To edit an existing Nominal Range, click its "Edit" button. |
| Change a y axis's label | Open the axis's settings modal, either through the gear button next to it in the mnemonic selection or by right-clicking the chart. There, change or disable the "Title Text" and "Apply". |
| Change a y axis's position, left vs right | Open the axis's settings modal, either through the gear button next to it in the mnemonic selection or by right-clicking the chart. There, change the "Side" setting and "Apply". |
| Use a log scale for a y axis | Open the axis's settings modal, either through the gear button next to it in the mnemonic selection or by right-clicking the chart. There, check the "Log Axis" setting and "Apply". |
| Provide an explicit maximum or minimum to a y axis | Open the axis's settings modal, either through the gear button next to it in the mnemonic selection or by right-clicking the chart. There, you change the minimum and maximum and "Apply". |
| Change a mnemonic to show just the average, min, max, or range of each bin | Open the mnemonic's settings modal, either through the gear button next to it in the mnemonic selection or by right-clicking the chart. There, change the "Sub-Channel" to the desired value. |
| Split a mnemonic to its own axis | Interface is unchanged. |
| Combine two y axes | Interface is unchanged. |
| Add markers and messages to the plot | To search, use the "Select Events" card in the bottom left. Or, if "Show Nearest Event" is enabled in the chart's advanced settings, markers and messages will appear as you hover over the chart. If you click on one, a modal appears, and the top right has a button to pin or unpin it. |
| Stacked Chart Viewer | Above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then enable "Stack Y Axes". If desired, split each mnemonic to its own y axis through the Mnemonic Select card. |
| Edit or disable the chart's title | Open the chart's settings modal, either through the chart button above the chart or by right-clicking the chart. There, change or disabled the title and "Apply". |
| Change the x axis mode | Interface is unchanged, but there are new options. |
| Configure an offset for comparison TIDs | No longer supported; please request if needed. |

| Show points | Above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then check "Show Points". |
| Everything to do with the zoom chart | The zoom chart is no longer used. Instead, the entire plot can be binned or unbinned as desired. If you want to minimize data loading, you can use "Automatic"-sized bins, manually zoom in on the chart, and then click "Load Time from View" above the chart. |
| Step the time window forwards, backwards, or out from the chart | Use the "Expand Time Window" button above the chart to expand the view by 25% in each direction. |
| View statistics for selected mnemonics | Above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then check "Show Statistics". |
HK MK Comparison Trending
Deprecated, but largely implemented in the Mnemonic Trending tool
HK MK Delta Trending
Implemented in the Mnemonic Trending tool
The Mnemonic Trending tool functions very similarly to the various HK Trending tools, in a more generic form. The biggest differences from the HK MK Delta Trending tool are:
- The "end markers" are just the selected markers, like the HK Marker Trending tool.
- The "delta" functionality is now configured per mnemonic, through the mnemonic settings modal.

HK TID Trending
Deprecated, but largely implemented in the Mnemonic Trending tool
LTQ
Implemented in the Spectra Viewer tool, but the relevant data is now on the Lab 699 XINA instance.
Most LTQ functionality maps directly to the Spectra Viewer. There are many new features, but they can largely be ignored.
| Old XINA | New XINA |
|---|---|
| Change the database | Interface is unchanged. |
| Search and select spectra | Use the "Select Spectra" card. |
| View spectra | Spectra will be displayed in the second chart: "Spectra", not "Spectra Summary". Enable loading and plotting with the "Load and Plot All Spectra" button at the top of the chart. |
| Plot MS spectra grouped by MSMS | First, spectra must be grouped appropriately: In the "Group Spectra" card on the bottom left, use the "Group By" dropdown to select an appropriate grouping. Once they're grouped, on the "Spectra" chart card, open the advanced settings by clicking the gear button and then set the "Stack" dropdown to "By Group". |
Marker Log

MOMA Chromatogram
Deprecated, but largely implemented in the Spectra Viewer tool
MOMA Contamination Trending
Deprecated, but largely implemented in the Spectra Viewer tool
MOMA DAC Scan Viewer
Implemented in the Spectra Viewer tool
The Spectra Viewer tool looks fairly different from the MOMA DAC Scan Viewer, but all functionality is there, plus many new things you can ignore. You'll only care about the top chart, the "Spectra Summary" chart, and can ignore the "Spectra" chart. To behave like the DAC Scan Viewer, set the "Spectra Summary" chart's "X" to "Scan Value", and "Order By" to "Start Time" or "Universal Scan ID". You'll also want the "Group Spectra" card, on the bottom left, to have "Group By" set to "TID", the default.
| Old XINA | New XINA |
|---|---|
| Change the model | Use the "Database" dropdown. |
| Select a Special Scan ID | In the "Select Spectra" card, use the "Special Scan ID" dropdown. |
| Select an Ion Selection | Above the "Spectra Summary" chart, set the "Y" to "TIC" or "cTIC" for a Total Ion Count, or to "SIC" or "cSIC" for a Selected Ion Count. For SICs and cSICs, you must configure the value to set its bounds: open the modal by clicking the settings button next to the dropdown, then adjust if desired and "Apply". |
| Enable count correction | Above the "Spectra Summary" chart, set the "Y" to "cTIC" or "cSIC" to apply correction, or to "TIC" or "SIC" to disable correction. |
| Enable normalization | Above the "Spectra Summary" chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then check "Normalize". |
| Search and select spectra by TID | In the "Select Spectra" card, use the "TID" tab. |

Full support coming soon.
MOMA GCMS Chart
Deprecated, but largely implemented in the Mnemonic Plot tool
MOMA Laser Tool
Implemented in the Mnemonic Plot tool
Laser mnemonics coming soon. Some of the below may change.
The laser data is available as mnemonics, so it can be accessed through the Mnemonic Plot and Mnemonic Trending tools. The Mnemonic Plot tool is the closest to the MOMA Laser Tool's capabilities, but either may be useful. For the Mnemonic Plot's chart to look similar to the Laser Burst's chart, above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then set "Range Series Type" to "Error Bars".
| Old XINA | New XINA |
|---|---|
| Change the model | Interface is unchanged. |
| Search and select TIDs | Use the "Select Time Range" card's TID Search tab. |
| Limit the TID list to Laser TIDs | In the "Select Time Range" card's TID Search tab, set the "Laser" filter requirement. |

MOMA Science Trending
Implemented in the Spectra Viewer tool
The Spectra Viewer is very similar to the MOMA Science Trending tool, but with greater flexibility. The two charts of the Spectra Viewer directly correspond to the two charts from MOMA Science Trending. The biggest difference is that MOMA Science Trend always groups spectra by TID, but the Spectra Viewer allows many different groupings.

New Features
This documents many of the new things you can do in New XINA.
Miscellaneous Features
- Hints: In the very top right is a ? button. Click it to show help for many things on the page. If there are new things to read, the button will be yellow.
- Followed Walls: Walls work like they used to, but there's a new "Follow" button at the top right of any wall. Posts to any followed wall will give you a XINA notification and show up in your feed on the home page or through the Notifications interface.
- Emails: Team Admins can send emails to members through the Teams page, under the top bar's "System" dropdown.
- Notebook Activity: On the home page, the "Notebook Activity" card will list recent posts from all Notebooks.
- Chart Right Click Menu: You can now right click on any chart and access several new controls. Most charts allow you to customize some chart, axis, or series settings from there, and all allow you to measure distances on the chart or force it to reload.
Profile & Preferences
In the very top right, if you click on your name, there are a number of new controls available.
- User Profile: In your user profile, you can customize your display name and preferred email.
- Access Keys: The User Profile "Access Keys" tab allows you to create and manage API keys.
- User Preferences: If you open your "User Preferences", you can customize your XINA experience. "Style" allows you to customize the background. "Palettes" allows you to view and customize the colors automatically applied to series, and includes colorblind-friendly options. "Charts" lets you customize almost every shared presentation aspect of XINA charts. If you use multiple XINA for multiple project, there's also an interface to import and export preferences through a button in the top right.
- Clear Cache: Within the User Preferences, the "Cache" tab allows you to clear XINA's local data, if needed.
Old Tools
While most new tools do not map one-to-one to old tools, those listed here reimplement or combine functionality from old tools, but also offer new enhancements.
Events
The Events tool is similar to the Alerts, Marker Log, Marker Log Trending, Message Log, and Message Log trending tools.
Detailed feature list coming soon.
Mnemonic Plot & Mnemonic Trending
The Mnemonic Plot and Mnemonic Trending tools are similar to all of the old Housekeeping tools, and also the Laser tool. The difference between the two is that the Mnemonic Plot looks at a single interval of time, and the Mnemonic Trending can look at multiple distinct intervals. Beyond that, their functionality is mostly shared.
First, there are many, many new, powerful mnemonic settings. You can access them through the gear button next to a mnemonic in the "Select Mnemonics" card, or through the chart's right-click menu:
- Expanded presentation settings, including series type.
- A time shift lets you move a particular series forwards or backwards in time, to correct alignment issues or for visualizing an offset.
- Data thresholds let you ignore data points that are outside of particular bounds. For example, if you know any values below 0 are bad data, you can filter those points out.
- Reference values allow you to instead use the delta relative to earlier values.
- Transformations are an incredibly powerful data manipulation system. They allow you to apply many different mathematical or statistical effects to a series, things like summation, change, percentage, rate of change, normalization, thresholds, rolling averages, regression slope, arithmetic, digitizing. Moreover, any number of these can be chained in series. For example, you could take the rate of change since the previous value, and then use a threshold to drop the bottom 90% of values, so that you can easily see the times where the rate of change is fastest.
Beyond that, other new features include:
- Bin sizes can be manually controlled or disabled.
- The Mnemonic Plot's single time range can just be a single TID, but it doesn't have to be; you can select any time range, and you can select it in many different ways.
- The Mnemonic Trending allows you to select many individual TIDs, but you can also select markers or even instants (e.g. messages or alerts) by giving a time range around them.
- The Mnemonic Search interface is more flexible than the HK Search, with many filters and options for search and display. It also allows you to mark some mnemonics as favorites, for easy access.
- The Y Axis settings, available through the gear button or by right-clicking on the chart, have been expanded.
- The controls for adding markers, messages, and other events to the plot are now more powerful.
- The Chart settings, available through the chart's settings button or by right-clicking on the chart, have been expanded. In Old XINA, most similar tools allowed you to customize the chart title, but now you can also customize the subtitle, caption, and legend.
- There are new x axis modes.
- You can interpolate values, which makes mnemonic over mnemonic cross charts more usable when data is misaligned.
- If enabled, when you hover your cursor over the chart, the nearest event will be displayed. You can filter to limit which show up, and you can click on them to see details or pin.
- Nominal ranges, which include expected values and limits, have expanded plotting options.
- There's a new stats table, with information about data from each series.
Spectra Viewer
The Spectra Viewer is most similar to the old MOMA Science Trending tool, but has been made flexible enough to handle use cases from most of the other science tools. But there are some things that couldn't have been done in any tool, before:
- Selecting scans freely, instead of just by TID
- Grouping scans in many different ways
- In both charts, there are chart settings, available through the chart's settings button or by right-clicking on the chart. Both allow you to customize the chart title, subtitle, legend and more.
- In the summary chart (the first chart), you've got new x axis and y axis options, including arbitrary SICs and cSICs.
- Both charts support plotting multiple y values at once. For example, the summary chart can now show several different SICs together.
- New presentation options in the summary chart, including series type, aggregation, and stacking plots.
- In the spectra chart (the second chart), you can apply transformations. Transformations are an incredibly powerful data manipulation system. They allow you to apply many different mathematical or statistical effects to a series, things like summation, change, percentage, rate of change, normalization, thresholds, rolling averages, regression slope, arithmetic, digitizing. Moreover, any number of these can be chained in series. For example, you could take the rate of change since the previous value, and then use a threshold to drop the bottom 90% of values, so that you can easily see the times where the rate of change is fastest.
Diagram Viewer, Simulator, & Editor
The new Diagram tools was designed to replace the old MOMA Diagram, but in a much more flexible way.
- Any vector image can be uploaded, hooked to XINA data, and provided with presentation logic, allowing any user to create their own diagrams like the original MOMA Diagram. Many different diagrams and dashboards can be created.
- It's also much easier to edit or re-draw existing diagrams. The old MOMA Diagram was out of date; it's now much easier to correct that.
- The logical rules can be derived from mnemonics, events, or other logical rules, allowing for fairly complicated events.
- Based on those logical rules, many different visual effects can be applied: modifying border or background colors, a highlight, blinking, text modifications, or filling in numeric mnemonic values.
- The Diagram Simulator, instead of using real data, allows you to enter a simple "Sequence File", simulated data in a hand-writable format.
- Along with the diagram, you now get a configurable chart showing any state or mnemonic values.
New Tools
Many tools are entirely new.
Mnemonic Export, Mnemonic Trend Export, & Packages
The Mnemonic Export and Mnemonic Trend Export tools can configure and kick off export processes, ideal when dealing with too much data to view in the browser. These export products can contain CSV data tables and PDF plots, and they can be configured to generate automatically on some schedule or when new data is received, and to be emailed out. For example, you could set up an automatic report plotting long-term consumable values that's emailed to you every month, or you could set up an automatic report with some significant summary data that's emailed out for each TID as it's mined.
The Package tool allows you to browse these export products.
Nominal Range Export
The Nominal Range Export tool allows you to manage and export nominal ranges. The main interface is an editor for creating or editing nominal ranges, and through the "Export" button in the top right you can export selected nominal ranges in one or more mission-relevant formats.
Nominal Range Trending
The Nominal Range Trending tool is the best way to generate a "limit report" kind of document. It's built around a table comparing nominal ranges across intervals. For example, you could select all "expected values", and all "baseline" TIDs or all instances of a particular marker, and then you'll get an exportable table checking each expected value across each interval, showing red, yellow, or green. The table can use one row per nominal range or can condense them to one row per mnemonic. You can also overwrite or manually populate values. For example, you might note that one particular limit event should be ignored, or you might include some manually-populated values. And, of course, you can export the table through the button in the top right, either as plain CSVs or as a color-coded XLSX spreadsheet.
Mnemonic Management
The Mnemonic Management tool allows advanced users to correct issues with mnemonic names, definitions, and aliases. Most users will never need to use it; please seek particular instruction if you think you need this.
Model Management
The Model Management tool helps advanced users to correct some mining issues and manage scheduled tasks. Most users will never need to use it; please seek particular instruction if you think you need this.
