Read 'Waters' RAW

Reads 'Waters MassLynx' (.raw) files into R.

Usage

read_waters_raw(
  path,
  format_out = c("matrix", "data.frame", "data.table"),
  data_format = c("wide", "long"),
  read_metadata = TRUE,
  metadata_format = c("chromconverter", "raw")
)

Arguments

path

Path to Waters .raw file.

format_out

Class of output. Either matrix, data.frame, or data.table.

data_format

Whether to return data in wide (default) or long format.

read_metadata

Logical. Whether to attach metadata. Defaults to TRUE.

metadata_format

Format to output metadata. Either chromconverter or raw.

Value

A chromatogram in the format specified by the format_out and data_format arguments.

Note

For now this parser only reads 1D chromatograms (not mass spectra or DAD data) and does not support parsing of metadata from 'Waters' RAW files.
