mzR (version 2.6.2)

peaks: Access the raw data from an mzR object.

Description

Access the MS raw data. The peaks and peaksCount functions return the (m/z,intensity) pairs and the number peaks in the spectrum/spectra. peaks returns a single matrix if scans is a numeric of length 1 and a list of matrices if several scans are asked for or no scans argument is provided (i.e all spectra in the oject are retured). peaksCount will return a numeric of length n. The header function returns a list containing seqNum, acquisitionNum , msLevel, peaksCount, totIonCurrent, retentionTime, basePeakMZ, basePeakIntensity, collisionEnergy, ionisationEnergy, lowM, highMZ, precursorScanNum, precursorMZ, precursorCharge, precursorIntensity, mergedScan, mergedResultScanNum, mergedResultStartScanNum and mergedResultEndScanNum, when available in the original file. If multiple scans are queried, a data.frame is returned with the scans reported along the rows.

The get3Dmap function performs a simple resampling between lowMz and highMz with reMz resolution. A matrix of dimensions length(scans) times seq(lowMz,highMz,resMz) is returned.

Usage

header(object, scans, ...)
 peaksCount(object, scans, ...)
 peaks(object, ...)
 get3Dmap(object, scans, lowMz, highMz, resMz, ...)

Arguments

object

An instantiated mzR object.

scans

A numeric specifying which scans to return. Optional for the header, peaks and peaksCount methods. If ommited, the requested data for all peaks is returned.

lowMz, highMz

Numerics defining the m/z range to be returned.

resMz

a numeric defining the m/z resolution.

...

Other arguments. A scan parameter can be passed to peaks.
