Function takes selected instrumental parameters relevant to time series ("kinetic") experiment from the .DSC/.dsc or .par file of an EPR Spectrum, obtained from the "Xenon", "WinEpr" or "Magnettech" software. These parameters are required for time correction of the CW (continuous wave) EPR spectra, see the correct_time_Exp_Specs.

Usage

readEPR_params_slct_kin(path_to_dsc_par, origin = "xenon")

Arguments

path_to_dsc_par

String, path to .DSC/.dsc or .par file including all instrumental parameters provided by the EPR machine.

origin

Character string, corresponding to software used to acquire EPR spectra. The files are slightly different depending on whether they were recorded by the "WinEpr",origin = "winepr", "Xenon" (default: origin = "xenon") or by the "Magnettech" (ESR5000 [11-0422], origin = "magnettech").

Value

List containing:

Nscans

Number of scans.

swTime

Sweep time in s required for time correction during the 2D_Field_Delay (time series EPR experiment).

Npoints

Number of points (spectral resolution).

Examples

  load_data_example(file = "Triarylamine_radCat_decay_series.DSC")
