read_spc_nosubhdr: Import for Thermo Galactic's spc file format These functions allow to import .spc files.

Description

Import for Thermo Galactic's spc file format These functions allow to import .spc files.

Usage

read_spc_nosubhdr(filename, keys.hdr2data = c("fexper", "fres", "fsource"),
  keys.hdr2log = c("fdate", "fpeakpt"), keys.log2data = FALSE,
  keys.log2log = TRUE, log.txt = TRUE, log.bin = FALSE,
  log.disk = FALSE, hdr = list(), nosubhdr = TRUE, no.object = FALSE)

Arguments

filename

The complete file name of the .spc file.

keys.hdr2data, keys.hdr2log, keys.log2data, keys.log2log

character vectors with the names of parameters in the .spc file's log block (log2xxx) or header (hdr2xxx) that should go into the extra data (yyy2data) or into the long.description field of the returned hyperSpec object's log (yyy2log).

All header fields specified in the .spc file format specification (see below) are imported and can be referred to by their de-capitalized names.

log.txt

Should the text part of the .spc file's log block be read?

log.bin, log.disk

Should the normal and on-disk binary parts of the .spc file's log block be read? If so, they will be put as raw vectors into the hyperSpec object's log.

hdr

A list with fileheader fields that overwrite the settings of actual file's header.

Use with care, and look into the source code for detailed insight on the elements of this list.

nosubhdr

Boolean value to decide if the header should be read or not. Default to TRUE.

no.object

If TRUE, a list with wavelengths, spectra, labels, log and data are returned instead of a hyperSpec object.

This parameter will likely be subject to change in future - use with care.

Value

If the file contains multiple spectra with individual wavelength axes, read.spc returns a list of hyperSpec objects. Otherwise the result is a hyperSpec object.

read.spc.KaiserMap returns a hyperSpec object with data columns x, y, and z containing the stage position as recorded in the .spc files' log.
