Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also

Constructs a dataSpectrum object from a given dataSPC object, returning the spectrum at a specific depth

1	dataSpectrum(SPC.data, depth.g.cm2)

`SPC.data`	dataSPC object holding spectrum information for multiple sample depths
`depth.g.cm2`	Depth at which the spectrum is located in g/cm2. This can be any depth, spectra will be interpolated between the adjacent sample depths.

Interpolation is done by linear mixture of the spectra which can lead to funny shapes such as double peaks. This is, however, the only way without using explicit transport calculation and also employed for example in TRiP98.
