In ethanbass/chromConverter: Chromatographic File Converter

Read 'Agilent' DX files

Description

Reads 'Agilent' .dx files.

Usage

read_agilent_dx(
  path,
  what = c("chroms", "dad"),
  path_out = NULL,
  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 .dx file.
what	Whether to extract chromatograms (chroms), DAD data (dad) and/or auxiliary instrumental data instrument (e.g., temperature, pressure, solvent composition, etc.). Accepts multiple arguments.
path_out	A directory to export unzipped files. If a path is not specified, the files will be written to a temp directory on the disk. The function will overwrite existing folders in the specified directory that share the basename of the file specified by path.
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.
metadata_format	Format to output metadata. Either chromconverter or raw.
collapse	Logical. Whether to collapse lists that only contain a single element.

Details

This function unzips 'Agilent' .dx into a temporary directory using unzip and calls read_chemstation_ch.

Value

A chromatogram in the format specified by format_out (retention time x wavelength).
