Spcreadr

Reads a Galactic SPC file.

x = spcreadr(filename,subs,wlrange,options)

[data,xaxis,auditlog,description] = spcreadr(filename,subs,wlrange,options)

SPCREADR reads a Galactic SPC file.

filename = a text string with the name of a SPC file or a cell of strings of SPC filenames.

If (filename) is omitted or an empty cell {}, the user will be prompted to select a folder and then one or more SPC files in the identified folder.

If filename is a blank string, the user will be prompted to select a file. Importer will also load DHB files.

subs = [], scalar or vector indicating the sub-files to read, e.g. [3] reads sub-file 3, [3:9] reads sub-files 3 to 9, {default reads all sub-files} and

wlrange = [], two element vector (inclusive endpoints) of the wavelength range to return {default returns the entire wavelength range}.

options = a structure array with the following fields:

waitbar: [ 'off' | 'on' |{'auto'}] governs the display of a waitbar when loading multiple files. If 'auto', waitbar is displayed for larger sets of files only.

axismatching: [ 'none' | 'intersect' |{'interpolate'} ], defines action taken when the x-axes of two spectra being read do not match. The options are:
- 'intersect' returns only the points where the spectral x-axis values overlap excatly.
- 'interpolate' returns the overlapping portions with linear interpolation to match spectral points exactly. As no extrapolation will be done, the returned spectra will cover the smallest common spectral range.
- 'none' ignores x-axis differences as long as the number of data points is the same in all spectra.

textauditlog: [ {'no'} | 'yes' ], governs output of audit log contents. When 'yes', the auditlog is returned as a raw text array. Otherwise, the auditlog is returned as a structure with field names taken from auditlog keys.
