PerkinElmer plugin

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

Install it with:

pip install spectrochempy[perkinelmer]

Use the namespaced API scp.perkinelmer:

import spectrochempy as scp

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

Compatibility aliases are also available:

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

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.
