Enter settings defining a sequence of spectra to be measured as a time series.

Usage

set_seq_interactive(
  seq.settings = list(start.boundary = "second", initial.delay = 0, step.delay = 0,
    num.steps = 1),
  measurement.duration = 0,
  minimum.step.delay = measurement.duration,
  time.division = 0
)

Arguments

seq.settings

numeric Definition of time steps for a sequence of repeated measurements. Named vector with member named start.boundary, "initial.delay", "step.delay", and "num.steps".

measurement.duration

numeric Duration of one measurement event (s).

minimum.step.delay

numeric Minimum duration of "step.delay" (s).

time.division

numeric The step is forced to be a multiple of this time duration, because spectrometers normally are constantly acquiring spectra and thbey return the most recently acquired one. Should be set to the integration time plus a very small overhead (s).

Value

A named numeric vector of length two.

Details

Function seq.settings() allows users to enter values needed to define a sequence of spectral acquisitions. These are the time unit boundary to synchronize to, the delay or duration of the time step between successive acquisitions and the number of acquisitions in the series. The measurement.time determines the minimum length for "step".

A sequence of measurements are expected to share a single reference or dark scan, and be done as a sequence. With a single time point, the initial delay or time unit boundary can be used to schedule a single timed measurement.
