flowgram

Elution profile in FIA-MS, by analogy with the ‘chromatogram’ in LC-MS. There is no column chromatography in FIA-MS

task

An atomic activity of the workflow, for example transforming a .raw file into a .mzML one.

A workflow is defined by setting the commands run by tasks, and setting the logical dependencies bewteen tasks.

workflow run

run directory

run

A work copy of the workflow source files, located in ~/cylc-run/workflow name/run name. Workflow runs can be configured individually.

In a production setting, each run of the workflow would correspond to a single batch of the bioreactor.
