read_character

internal

Reads data from Bruker OPUS binary files of Fourier-Transform
infrared spectrometers of the company Bruker Optics GmbH & Co.
This package is released independently from Bruker, and Bruker and OPUS are
registered trademarks of Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. KG.
<https://www.bruker.com/en/products-and-solutions/infrared-and-raman/opus-spectroscopy-software/latest-release.html>.
It lets you import both measurement data and parameters from OPUS files.
The main method is `read_opus()`, which reads one or multiple OPUS files
into a standardized list class. Behind the scenes, the reader parses the
file header for assigning spectral blocks and reading binary data from the
respective byte positions, using a reverse engineering approach. Infrared
spectroscopy combined with chemometrics and machine learning is an
established method to scale up chemical diagnostics in various industries
and scientific fields.
