Purpose
Reads Thermo Fisher SPA files.
Synopsis
- out = spareadr
- out = spareadr('filename')
- out = spareadr({'filename' 'filename2'})
Description
Read SPA files into a dataset.
Inputs
- file = a text string with the name of an SPA file or a cell of strings of SPA filenames. If (filename) is omitted or an empty cell or array, the user will be prompted to select a folder and then one or more files in the identified folder. If (filename) is a blank string , the user will be prompted to select a single file.
Outputs
- out = takes one of two forms:
- If input is a single file, or multiple files containing data that can be combined (same number of data points, same x-axis range, same type of data), the output is a dataset object,
- If the input consists of multiple files containing data that cannot simply be combined (different number of data points, differing x-axis ranges, etc), the output is either:
- a) a cell array with a dataset object for each input file if the 'nonmatching' option has value 'cell', or
- b) a dataset object containing the input data combined using the MATCHVARS function if the 'nonmatching' option has value 'matchvars'.
Options
options = a structure array with the following fields:
- multiselect = [ {'on'} |'off'] governs whether file selection dialog should allow multiple files to be selected and imported. Setting to 'off' will restrict user to importing only one file at a time.
- nonmatching : [ 'error' |{'matchvars'} 'cell'] governs behavior when multiple files are being read which cannot be combined due to mismatched types, sizes, etc.
