trimInstrDesc: Trim the "instr.desc" attribute

Description

Function to trim the "instr.desc" attribute of an existing generic_spct object, discarding all fields except for `spectrometer.name`, `spectrometer.sn`, `bench.grating`, `bench.slit`, and calibration name.

Usage

trimInstrDesc(x, fields = c("time", "spectrometer.name", "spectrometer.sn",
  "bench.grating", "bench.slit"))

Arguments

x
a generic_spct object
fields
a character vector with the names of the fields to keep, or if first member is `"-"`, the names of fields to delete; "*" as first member of the vector makes the function a no-op, leaving the spectrum object unaltered.

Value

x
