Overview

About

Maintained by Philipp BaumannCRAN page ↗Repository ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: spectral-cockpit.com

Reads data from Bruker OPUS binary files of Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometers of the company Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. This package is released independently from Bruker, and Bruker and OPUS are registered trademarks of Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. KG. https://www.bruker.com/en/products-and-solutions/infrared-and-raman/opus-spectroscopy-software/latest-release.html. It lets you import both measurement data and parameters from OPUS files. The main method is `read_opus()`, which reads one or multiple OPUS files into a standardized list class. Behind the scenes, the reader parses the file header for assigning spectral blocks and reading binary data from the respective byte positions, using a reverse engineering approach. Infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics and machine learning is an established method to scale up chemical diagnostics in various industries and scientific fields.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("opusreader2", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-opusreader2

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-opusreader2

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-opusreader2

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
