Abstract

Reads data from Bruker OPUS binary files of Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometers of the company Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. This package is released independently from Bruker, and Bruker and OPUS are registered trademarks of Bruker Optics GmbH & Co. KG. . It lets you import both measurement data and parameters from OPUS files. The main method is 'read_opus()', which reads one or multiple OPUS files into a standardized list class. Behind the scenes, the reader parses the file header for assigning spectral blocks and reading binary data from the respective byte positions, using a reverse engineering approach. Infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics and machine learning is an established method to scale up chemical diagnostics in various industries and scientific fields.
