read_opus: Read spectral data from Bruker OPUS binary files

In OpenSpecy: Analyze, Process, Identify, and Share Raman and (FT)IR Spectra

Read spectral data from Bruker OPUS binary files

Description

Read file(s) acquired with a Bruker Vertex FTIR Instrument. This function is basically a fork of opus_read() from https://github.com/pierreroudier/opusreader.

Usage

read_opus(
  file,
  metadata = list(file_name = basename(file), user_name = NULL, contact_info = NULL,
    organization = NULL, citation = NULL, spectrum_type = NULL, spectrum_identity = NULL,
    material_form = NULL, material_phase = NULL, material_producer = NULL,
    material_purity = NULL, material_quality = NULL, material_color = NULL,
    material_other = NULL, cas_number = NULL, instrument_used = NULL,
    instrument_accessories = NULL, instrument_mode = NULL, spectral_resolution = NULL,
    laser_light_used = NULL, number_of_accumulations = NULL, 
    
    total_acquisition_time_s = NULL, data_processing_procedure = NULL,
    level_of_confidence_in_identification = NULL, other_info = NULL, license =
    "CC BY-NC"),
  type = "spec",
  digits = 1L,
  atm_comp_minus4offset = FALSE
)

Arguments

file	character vector with path to file(s).
metadata	a named list of the metadata; see as_OpenSpecy() for details.
type	character vector of spectra types to extract from OPUS binary file. Default is "spec", which will extract the final spectra, e.g. expressed in absorbance (named AB in Bruker OPUS programs). Possible additional values for the character vector supplied to type are "spec_no_atm_comp" (spectrum of the sample without compensation for atmospheric gases, water vapor and/or carbon dioxide), "sc_sample" (single channel spectrum of the sample measurement), "sc_ref" (single channel spectrum of the reference measurement), "ig_sample" (interferogram of the sample measurement) and "ig_ref" (interferogram of the reference measurement).
digits	Integer that specifies the number of decimal places used to round the wavenumbers (values of x-variables).
atm_comp_minus4offset	Logical whether spectra after atmospheric compensation are read with an offset of -4 bytes from Bruker OPUS files; default is FALSE.

Details

The type of spectra returned by the function when using type = "spec" depends on the setting of the Bruker instrument: typically, it can be either absorbance or reflectance.

The type of spectra to extract from the file can also use Bruker's OPUS software naming conventions, as follows:

• ScSm corresponds to sc_sample

• ScRf corresponds to sc_ref

• IgSm corresponds to ig_sample

• IgRf corresponds to ig_ref

Value

An OpenSpecy object.
