PerkinElmer plugin

Introduction

The spectrochempy-perkinelmer plugin provides a reader for PerkinElmer .sp binary IR files.

Installation

Install it with:

python -m pip install spectrochempy-perkinelmer

Recommended API

Use the recommended namespaced API:

import spectrochempy as scp

dataset = scp.perkinelmer.read("path/to/file.sp")

Compatibility aliases

Compatibility aliases are also available for older scripts:

dataset = scp.perkinelmer.read_perkinelmer("path/to/file.sp")
dataset = scp.read_perkinelmer("path/to/file.sp")
dataset = scp.read_sp("path/to/file.sp")

API Reference

The generated public API page for the PerkinElmer plugin is listed in Plugin public API reference. See spectrochempy.perkinelmer.read.

Examples

Use the same namespaced reader shown above for ordinary PerkinElmer .sp import workflows.

Limitations

Only single-spectrum .sp files are supported.
The .prf format is not supported.
Metadata extraction depends on the presence of standard PerkinElmer blocks; files with incomplete metadata will still load but with reduced meta information.
