Merging 61 mass spectrometry scans into one spectrum

[DMN]

I have a collection of mass spectrometry data, about 61 scans, and I can graph them on top of each other to get a complete picture. But since each scan is only a chunk of the entire range, what ways are there to merge all the scans into one so that I can then start finding peaks and such? Would a straight average of the intensity values work? Or is there some nice algorithm that would merge the data without introducing too many artifacts?

I can't guess what you want to do? what's the character of spectrometry data? I'm sorry I can't understand...
