read_chemstation_ms: Read 'Agilent ChemStation' MS file.

In chromConverter: Chromatographic File Converter

Read 'Agilent ChemStation' MS file.

Description

Reads 'Agilent ChemStation MSD Spectral Files' beginning with x01/x32/x00/x00.

Usage

read_chemstation_ms(
  path,
  what = c("MS1", "BPC", "TIC"),
  format_out = c("matrix", "data.frame", "data.table"),
  data_format = c("wide", "long"),
  read_metadata = TRUE,
  metadata_format = c("chromconverter", "raw"),
  collapse = TRUE
)

Arguments

path	Path to 'Agilent' .ms file.
what	What stream to get: current options are MS1, BPC and/or TIC. If a stream is not specified, the function will return all streams.
format_out	Class of output. Either matrix, data.frame, or data.table.
data_format	Whether to return data in wide or long format.
read_metadata	Logical. Whether to attach metadata. Defaults to TRUE.
metadata_format	Format to output metadata. Either chromconverter or raw.
collapse	Logical. Whether to collapse lists that only contain a single element. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A 2D chromatogram in the format specified by data_format and format_out. If data_format is wide, the chromatogram will be returned with retention times as rows and a single column for the intensity. If long format is requested, two columns will be returned: one for the retention time and one for the intensity. The format_out argument determines whether the chromatogram is returned as a matrix, data.frame, or data.table. Metadata can be attached to the chromatogram as attributes if read_metadata is TRUE.
