RAW file still being acquired #45

Closed martijnmolenaar closed 2 years ago

martijnmolenaar commented 2 years ago

Hi developers,

Thanks for the really great package! Saves me so much file conversion time.

I have a question regarding viewing RAW-files during acquisition. When I load those (also after making a copy of the file to 'fix' it), I get an error that the 'RAW file still being acquired', which of course is indeed the case.

Is there any possibilty to view it anyway, like you would do in vendor software to do some quick checks? Or is critical info save at the end of the run?

> RAW_chrom <- readChromatogram(rawfile = rawfile, tol = 3, mass = masses_of_intest) RAW file still being acquired

Thanks!

Hi @martijnmolenaar,

technically it is indeed possible, as Thermo Freestyle demonstrates, but rawrr is currently not supporting this "style" of data access in order to keep things simple. I don't expect that we will add this feature in the near future. But if someone is willing to expand our managed code (C#), we might change our mind. ;-)

Best, Tobi
