A tool for splitting a single SWATH / DIA file into a set of files, each containing one SWATH window (plus one file for the MS1 survey scans).

Will use the input SWATH / DIA file to generate one output file containing the MS1 survey scans and n individual files for each SWATH / DIA window in the input file. The number of windows is read from the input file itself.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

OpenSwathFileSplitter -- Splits SWATH files into n files, each containing one window.
