William and Mary Parser for Bruker-Ultraflex TOF-MS Data

Description

The package parses Bruker-Ultraflex TOF mass spectrometry data and experimental parameter files into R structures for further signal processing and statistical analysis.

Package: WMBrukerParser

The package contains two routines. The core routine, BrukerParser, reads binary TOF data (obtained using either Linear or Reflector mode) and associated experimental parameter files, and parses data and meta-data into R structures, tofList and tofListMetaData. This involves accessing files in different locations within a data directory tree and reading different file formats. The second routine, ParseAndSave calls the BrukerParser routine as directed by the parameter list, ParserParams (provided in an OptionsAndParameters.txt file), and saves the tofList and tofListMetaData structures that are returned in .Rdat files. Parameters in OptionsAndParameters can be edited to select options for parsing data from multiple bioprocessor runs, concatenating parsed data and printing memory usage information.
