PerkinElmer IR data file import tools

Utilities to read PerkinElmer infrared spectroscopy and imaging files (.sp, .fsm, .lsc, .imp, .vis)

Description

This submission contains a set of MATLAB(R) functions that MATLAB users may use to load PerkinElmer data files into MATLAB.

File loading functions:
fsmload: Loads data from a PerkinElmer image file.
lscload: Loads data from a PerkinElmer line scan file.
spload: Loads data from a PerkinElmer spectrum file.
impload: Loads data from a PerkinElmer intensity map file.
visload: Loads data from a PerkinElmer .VIS visual image file.

Image display functions:
fsmplay: 'Plays' an fsm file from high to low wavenumbers.
fsmplaydata: 'Plays' a previously loaded data cube.

Examples:
peexamples.m : Snippets of code to show how PerkinElmer imaging data may be loaded.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)
• Other Files: fsmload.m, ; fsmplay.m, ; fsmplaydata.m, ; impload.m, ; lscload.m, ; PEExamples.m, ; ReadMe.txt, ; spload.m, ; visload.m

This is very useful for me. Usually I have to convert *.sp spectral files into *.asc first before any further data analysis.

Questions are:
1. would you please present code which can generate *.asc from *.sp? some of the critical information which can be found in *.asc was missing;

2. is it possible to provide simiar function by other programming languages, like C/C++, and VBA ?

thank you very much for sharing this great code!
