ooacquire 0.2.3

Data acquisition / Data analysis / Mehods / Package updateLeave a comment

Main changes since version 0.2.2 are:

  • Implement support for on-the-fly retrieval of instrument descriptor and calibration data from EEPROM when calibration is not available as R objects: update acq_irrad_interactive() and the functions it uses to retrieve and save calibration data.  (Similar updates are pending for the other data acquisition functions).
  • Update calibration data for MAYP11278 and MAYP112785.
  • Test with old USB2000 spectrometer.

Full change history is available at: https://docs.r4photobiology.info/ooacquire/news/index.html

NOTE: This package is NOT available through CRAN.

This package is available through the r4photobiology repository  and through GitHub.

INSTALLATION:

Note: this version needs the recently released ‘rOmniDriver’ version 0.1.14 or later, so if this package is already installed it may need to be updated before updating or installing ‘ooacquire’ 0.2.3.

  1. From the binary or source packages of the released version from the CRAN-compatible repository at http://r.r4photobiology.info/.
  2. From sources of the under development version retrieved from the Git repository at GitHub.

ooacquire 0.2.2

Data acquisition / Data analysis / Mehods / Package updateLeave a comment

During the last two years development has continued at a slow pace. Most changes are to the functions for interactive acquisition of spectra, correction of bugs and tracking to changes in packages from which imports are made. Testing was done with new OmniDriver releases. Some data examples have been added and also replaced. Some progress with the vignettes has been done. However, the documentation still needs work.

One visible change is the move of the Git repository from Bitbucket to GitHub. Package ‘rOmniDriver’ has also been moved to GitHub and its documentation updated to reflect this.

Starting from this release, the changelog is included in the online documentation at http://docs.r4photobiology.info/ooacquire/.

ooacquire 0.1.6

Data acquisition / Data analysis / Mehods / Package updateLeave a comment

Improvements aiming at continuing the expansion of the support of different Ocean Optics spectrometers and of  additional measurement methods.

  • Update acq_irrad_interactive() adding alternative user-interface modes, allowing users to set comment and what.measured attributes, and to construct collections of spectra.
  • Add pre-built calibrations and methods for additional FLAME-S instruments.
  • Improve algorithm for automatic tuning of integration time to achieve faster convergence.
  • Fix various minor bugs.
  • Update vignettes.
  • Test against OmniDriver 1.2.56
  • Update read_ooov_files() for compatibility with ‘readr’ >= 1.2.0 which is now required

Add support for measurement of pulsed light sources (under development)

The new features described below are under development, subject to change without previous notice and not yet well tested!! (double-check any results and please report any bugs by raising an issue!)

Implement support for measuring output from xenon flashes, including use of such flashes as light sources for measurement of spectral transmittance and reflectance. Use of multiple exposures per integration is also supported and the number of exposures stored as metadata is used during later processing. In the case of pulsed light sources the first conversion of RAW spectra is into counts per exposure, and instead of spectral irradiance spectral fluence per exposure is computed. All changes are backwards compatible with raw data acquired with earlier versions of ‘ooacquire’ and the user interface remains unaltered for the measurement of continuous light sources.

  • Add function acq_fluence_interactive() for measuring spectral fluence of pulsed light sources.
  • Add acq_fraction_pulsed_interactive() for measuring transmittance and reflectance using a pulsed light source.
