Avantes8 to Matlab

Read spectral data from Avantes8 spectrometer files

% Reads a single binary file saved by Avantes AvaSoft8 software.

% include '.RAW8', '.RWD8', '.ABS8','.TRM8','.RFL8','.IRR8','.RIR8'.

function [Wavelength,Sample,Dark,Reference,Mode_data,h] = readRAW8(filename,specified_mode)

% specify_mode: 0 - 6
%  0  'Scope Mode'
%  1  'Scope minus Dark Mode'
%  2  'Absorbance Mode'
%  3  'Transmittance Mode'
%  4  'Reflectance Mode'
%  5  'Absolute Irradiance Mode'
%  6  'Relative Irradiance Mode'

% for example:
%  [Wavelength,Sample,Dark,Reference,Mode_data,h] = readRAW8(filename)
%  If the mode parameter is not specified, it will read the mode from data file. 
%  Returns the result calculated from the read mode.
%  
%  [Wavelength,Sample,Dark,Reference,Mode_data,h] = readRAW8(filename,specify_mode)
%  If the mode parameter is specified, it will ignore the mode read from
%  data file and use the specified mode parameter and returns the
%  calculation result of the specified mode.
%  
%  The number of pixels settings by factory can be read from data file.
%  If less number of pixels be used, the actual number of pixels will be 
%  calculated.
