Reading the .DSC/.dsc or .par file to extract the important parameters like "modulation amplitude", "temperature", "microwave power" as well as "microwave frequency" which are are required for the absolute EPR quantitative analysis (\(\equiv\) radical or paramagnetic species number determination, see the quantify_EPR_Abs function).

Usage

readEPR_params_slct_quant(path_to_dsc_par, origin = "xenon")

Arguments

path_to_dsc_par

Character string, path (also provided by file.path) to .DSC/.dsc or .par (depending on OS, see the origin argument) text files including all instrumental parameters and 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 consisting of:

BmmT

Modulation amplitude value in mT.

PmW

Microwave source power in mW.

TK

Experimental temperature in K.

mwGHz

Microwave frequency value in GHz.
