Spectrometer output files
In the examples we use function system-file to reliably
locate the example files included in the package. For reproducing the
examples with these files, this call is needed. When using user’s files
only the path as a character string needs to be passed as argument.
In most cases the quantities in the files can be identified from the
file contents allowing a single function to work adaptively. In cases
when the format returned by different models of spectrometers from the
same supplier is largely consistent, then a single function can read
them all. In some cases the format depends on the computer software used
to acquire the data, of which a single supplier may have had more than
one over the years, thus requiring multiple functions. Some of the
instruments supported have long been discontinued but in their time were
very popular, like the LI-COR LI-1800 spectrometer from the late 1980’s.
The coverage of brands and models is limited by the instruments I have
had access to, or have had at least access to a sample of files. As of
version 0.4.24 data can be imported from files created by spectrometers
and/or software from six different suppliers.

Plotting the spectrum.
Cleaning spectral data
We can see that the data have problems. We get a warning because the
data include negative values for spectral irradiance. We will use some
methods from package ‘photobiology’ to correct the problem. As the data
are noisy we cannot just shift the scale so that the most negative value
becomes zero. Neither can we replace all negative values with zeros, as
this would create bias.
In the following code chunk we will use a region of the spectrum in
which spectral irradiance is known to be equal to zero as reference to
shift the scale zero. Afterwards we discard data ``known’’ to be zero,
and for which the instrument calibration is not valid, and finally we
plot the spectrum.
jaz.spct <- fshift(jaz0.spct, range = c(255, 290), f = "mean")
jaz.spct <- trim_wl(jaz.spct, range = c(290, 800))
autoplot(jaz.spct)
We can next try to smooth the spectrum as it is very noisy outside
the visible region.
jaz.spct <- smooth_spct(jaz.spct)
## 413 possibly 'bad' values in smoothed spectral response
Photon and energy irradiances.
e_irrad(jaz.spct, PAR()) # W m-2

autoplot(read_oo_jazirrad(file = jaz.s.irrad.file),
range = c(250,850))

Array spectrometers from Wasatch Photonics
Enlighten can save spectral data in a variety of file formats. The
function read_wasatch_csv() reads CSV files with spectral
data in columns. It is designed so that it can read any variation of
this file format. In Enlighten it is possible to select which columns
are included in the file so their number can vary. However, the header
is rich in information and this allows in many but not all cases to
guess based on the “Technique” used in Enlighten the type of data being
imported. This means that in some cases the user needs to pass an
argument to parameter s.qty. This is also the case when the
column to be extracted is not that with heading “Processed” in the CSV
file. The metadata is as for Ocean Insight/Ocean Optics spectrometers
copied to attributes in the returned object.
Format of the header is simple and rather easy to parse. The header

LI-180 array dector spectrometer from LI-COR
The LI-COR LI-180 is a portable, self-contained instrument, with
relatively low spectral resolution. This instrument measures spectral
irradiance in the range 380 nm to 780 nm. There is only one hardware
configuration but firmware updates have been released.
This instrument can save the spectral data in different formats. The
“XXX” format includes a rather long header, followed by spectral data,
then followed by a file footer. The long header can contain various
summaries computed from the spectrum, as well as date and time, and
information on the instrument.

LI-1800 scanning spectrometer from LI-COR
The LI-COR LI-1800 was developed in the early 1980’s and remained
available for many years. Some units are still in use although the
technology has been superceeded. If re-calibrated these instruments are
still useful.
Spectral photon irradiance output files generated by LI-COR’s PC1800
program for the LI-1800 spectroradiometer. These files have a relatively
detailed header, but it lacks year information. Files can contain either
energy or photon based spectral irradiances, and this is signalled in
the header. In this example photon (= quantum) spectral irradiance is
returned. The first few lines of the file look like this:
"FILE:FL2"
"REM: TLD 36W/865 (QNTM)"
"LIMS: 300- 900NM"
"INT: 1NM"
"DATE:08/23 16:32"
"MIN: 300NM 1.518E-04"
"MAX: 546NM 7.491E-01"
300 1.518E-04
301 3.355E-04
302 2.197E-04
303 3.240E-04
...
Function read_licor_prn will automatically detect
whether the data is energy or photon based. In all cases as much
metadata information as possible is decoded, and the data file headers
are preserved as comments in the source.spct objects. The
missing information for year is set to zero in the
when.measured attribute, with month, day, hours and minutes
as decoded from the header. The time zone defaults to UTC and will need
in general to be passed as an argument to tz in the
function call.

Even when using to correct argument for tz the time will
still default to UTC when the spectrum is printed or plotted, but this
time expressed in UTC may still be shifted from the correct time in the
time zone where measurements were acquired as without year information
it is impossible to adjust for daylight saving time and other shifts in
local times that have changed over the years as a result of changes in
legislation.

It is also possible to use the same function to import reflectance,
and transmittance spectra acquired by the LI-1800.
And a spectral reflectance output file generated by LI-COR’s PC1800

readings at wavelengths shorter than 400 nm in the presence of stronger
radiation at longer wavelengths are to be discarded.
The leaf spectrometer from CID Bio-Science
This all-in-one spectrometer measures spectral reflectance, spectral
transmittance or spectral absorbance of plant leaves or in fact any thin
film. There is a single configuration available and being based on a
microcontroller this instrument is used autonomously and spectral data
saved internally can be exported as CSV files.
Reflectance and transmittance generate a single spectrum per
measurement while absorbance generates three: spectral absorbance,
spectral reflectance and spectral transmittance. The last two are needed
to compute absorbance, and, wisely, they are also returned. In the case
of absorbance measurements it is possible to import the data into an
object_spct containing variables Rfr and
Tfr or as separate objects.

TUV
The output from the TUV model can be imported either by editing it
before import, or by making a simple edit to the output routine of TUV.
This function is known to work with TUV version 5.0 output. The output
from TUV can contain a variable number of spectra in ‘’parallel’’
columns, which are melted into a single column, with a factor
with letters as levels, a numeric variable with the zenith angle and a
POSIXct column with times. A date needs to be always supplied as the
output file from TUV has only time of day information.

Quick TUV calculator
The files output by the online calculator based on the TUV model,
contain at most one spectrum, and arguments to only some parameters can
be set by users. However, it is convenient to use when we only need a
few simple simulations.
Function read_qtuv_txt() can extract spectra and the
corresponding metadata from these files. These files do contain date
time information and geolocation data when they are supplied as
arguments to the calculator interface, otherwise only zenith angle is
available.

libRadtran
By default libRadtran’s uvspec writes only spectral irradiances to a
text file as output. This is different from ‘TUV’ which by default
includes an extensive header with the parameter settings used for the
simulation. It is easy to read this simple output file with R’s
functions. However, we provide functions, that simplify reading of the
files. The output from uvspec varies depending on its input. The main
source of differences is the solver routine used. We will provide a
separate function for each solver.
For reading this simple output, no special function is needed. We can
use read.table from base R. Here we read a file with two
columns with wavelengths and global spectral energy irradiance (named
“eglo” in libRadtran) in \(mW\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}\). The file was created
with one of the ‘uvspec’ examples included with libRadtran, but reducing
the output to two columns.

We give two additional examples, which will most likely need some
adjustment by users, as these are for output from libRadtran
post-processed to add additional information. These are included in the
package because myself and collaborators use these formats heavily. In
fact users could develop shell scripts or Perl scripts using the same
output format.
Output enriched with time and date data
In this case the file to be read is similar as above, but including
separate columns for direct and diffuse components of the spectral
energy irradiance. In addition two columns, one with date strings in ISO
format and one with times have been added. The file instead of
containing a single spectrum, contains several spectra in long form.
The first few lines of the file look like this:
290.000 2015-05-19 11_00_00 0.000000e+00 0.000000e+00

...
A function is included for reading data saved in a text file in this
format. It also automatically converts \(mW\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}\) into \(W\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}\).

Scripts developed by Anders Lindfors
A model for the simulation of the solar spectrum was developed at the
Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) by Dr. Anders Lindfors and
collaborators and uses functions from ‘libRadtran’ as its engine, but
saves some additional metadata to the output file. The main addition is
related to the estimation of the effect of clouds.
Functions read_fmi_cum() and
read_m_fmi_cum() can be used to read text files output as
daily integrated spectral irradiance. In other words cummulated daily
data. Function read_fmi2mspct() reads spectral irradiance,
extracting multiple sequential spectra from a single file.
The first few lines of the files with cummulated data look like
this:
# date number_of_scans start_scan stop_scan max_time_gap max_sza_gap warnings
# 20140821 15 3:30:00 17:30:00 60 7.4
# wavelength exposure(J/m2/nm)
2900 0.00000000e+00
2910 2.93132235e-05
2920 7.23526379e-04
...
We can read an individual file into a source_spct object
while adding some metadata read from the file header. In this case
values are for daily global spectral energy exposures rather than
irradiances. Wavelengths are expressed in Angstroms instead of
nanometres.

Files with spectral irradiance contain data for multiple spectra
stored as text. Each spectrum is delimited at the top by a header line
with metadata and at the end by "end" in a line by
itself.
The first few and last lines for each spectrum look like this:
# 20130501 3:30:00 3:30:00 82.656
210.00 2900 0
210.00 2910 0

210.00 8490 104.63495
210.00 8500 90.18384
end
...
The number of spectra, range of wavelengths and the length of each
spectrum can vary. Function read_fmi2mspct() uses matching
to the delimiters to read all the data in all cases.

Other R packages
A general way of exchanging data with other R packages or for use
with base R functions is to create a matrix from a collection of spectra
with as.matrix(), or a collection of spectra from a matrix
with one of the as.xxxx_mspct() methods such as
as.source_spct. Such methods are defined in package
‘photobiology’ as well as method join_mspct() for
conversion of collections of spectra into wide data frames.
However, a matrix is only guaranteed to contain numeric data and a
"dim" attribute, while conversion to a data frame preserves
only part of the metadata. These generic conversions cannot be reversed
without loss of information. When possible use the package specific
functions as they automate much of the recovery and preservation of
metadata.

We assume here, that the quantity for the spectral emission of the
laser is spectral energy irradiance, expressed in \(mW\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}\). This is likely to be
wrong but for the sake of showing how the conversion takes place is
irrelevant. The parameter multiplier can be passed a
numeric argument to rescale the original data. The default multiplier is
1.

Wrappers on ‘colorSpec’ functions.
Functions spct_CCT(), spct_CRI() and
spct_SSI() call the respective compute
functions after converting source_spct objects. CCT, CRI
and SSI are meaningful for human vision although they are used not only
for general illumination but also in photography and cinematography.
They can be generalized by overriding the default references from human
vision with those of cameras or other visual systems.

From ‘pavo’
In this example we convert an rspec object from package
‘pavo’ into a collection of spectra and then we plot it with
ggplot methods from package
ggspectra' (an extension toggplot2’). The data are the
spectral reflectance of the plumage from seven different individual
birds of the same species, measured in three different body parts.

We convert the subset of the collection corresponding to the first
individual into a single spectra object for plotting with
ggplot.

We calculate the mean reflectance in wavebands corresponding to ISO
colors obtaining a data frame. We then add to this returned data frame a
factor indicating the body parts.
