grabMzmlDAD: Extract the DAD data from an mzML nodeset

Description

Extract the DAD data from an mzML nodeset

Usage

grabMzmlDAD(xml_data, rtrange, file_metadata)

Value

A `data.table` with columns for retention time (rt), wavelength (lambda), and intensity (int).

Arguments

xml_data

An `xml2` nodeset, usually created by applying `read_xml` to an mzML file.

rtrange

A vector of length 2 containing an upper and lower bound on retention times of interest. Providing a range here can speed up load times (although not enormously, as the entire file must still be read) and reduce the final object's size.

file_metadata

Information about the file used to decode the binary arrays containing m/z and intensity information.
