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. |
| With comparison TIDs, use the "difference" reference mode | No longer supported; please request if needed. Some related functionality can be achieved through Mnemonic Reference Values. |
| Display limits for a mnemonic | 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". In that table, toggle the "Plot" button for any ranges to the desired display mode. |
| Change the zoom mode | Above the chart, click the gear to expand advanced settings, and then use the "Zoom" dropdown. |
| Show expected values | 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". In that table, toggle the "Plot" button for any ranges to the desired display mode. |
| 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". |

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. |
| Add or remove scans | Use the "Select Spectra" card. You might need to remove the SSID filtering. |
| Suggestion Special Scan IDs and TIDs | No longer supported, but similar discovery can be done using the "Select Spectra" card's search interface. |
MOMA Diagram

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. |
