Usage:
  DTAExtractor <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*        Input file  (valid formats: 'mzML')
  -out <file>*       Base name of DTA output files (RT, m/z and extension are appended)
  -mz [min]:[max]    M/z range of precursor peaks to extract.
                     This option is ignored for MS level 1 (default: ':')
  -rt [min]:[max]    Retention time range of spectra to extract (default: ':')
  -level i[,j]...    MS levels to extract (default: '1,2,3')
                     
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>  Writes the default configuration file
