Trim the "instr.settings" attribute

Function to trim the "instr.settings" attribute of an existing generic_spct object, by discarding some fields.

Usage

trimInstrSettings(x, fields = "*")

Arguments

x

a generic_spct object

fields

a character vector with the names of the fields to keep, or if first member is `"-"`, the names of fields to delete; "*" as first member of the vector makes the function a no-op, leaving the spectrum object unaltered.

Value

x

Note

This function alters x itself by reference and in addition returns x invisibly. If x is not a generic_spct object, x is not modified.
