Abstract
After setting an intensity value equal to or lower than a predetermined level in mass spectrum data as invalid data, an uncompressed data array in which intensity values are arrayed in the order of m/z is divided into blocks per predetermined number of pieces of data. When significant intensity values are consecutive in order from the start of each block, this consecutive number and the respective intensity values are used as data for compression. When invalid data is consecutive, this consecutive number is used as data for compression. Then, sequence numbers of data at the start of each block after compression are collected to create an index and the index is stored together with the compressed data.
