[--noyn] [--nofm] [--nopause] jac2dat converts .jac/.jca files to various data formats.
- JAC file: The gamma spectra format of MEXT (previously the Science and
Technology Agency), Japan. For details, refer to the catalogue
of DS-P1001 Gamma Station, SII.
A .jac/.jca file consists of only one column, in which
gamma counts are stored in ascending order of channels.
The first four records are "not" gamma counts, and
are used for special purposes:
- Record 1: Live time (duration)
- Record 2: Real time (duration)
- Record 3: Acquired time
- Record 4: Comment
- DAT file: A plain text file converted from a .jac/.jca file.
A .dat file consists of multiple columns, in which
channels, gamma energies, peak FWHMs, peak efficiencies,
counts, count per second (cps), gammas, and
gamma per second (gps) are stored.
- Other supported data formats include tex, csv, xlsx, json, and yaml. jac_files ...
.jac/.jca files to be converted.
--all (short: -a)
All .jac/.jca files in the current working directory will be converted.
--inp_encoding (default: cp932)
Specify the encoding of .jac/.jca files to be converted.
Use one of the supported encodings listed in the following URL.
https://perldoc.perl.org/Encode::Supported#Supported-Encodings
Use cp932 for .jac/.jca files encoded in Shift JIS.
--detector=det_file (short: --det)
A file containing conversion functions of a detector
such as channel-to-energy and channel-to-FWHM functions.
Key-value pairs contained in this file take precedence
over the predefined functions.
Refer to the sample file 'detector.j2d' for the syntax.
--out_encoding (default: UTF-8)
Specify the encoding of converted files.
Use one of the supported encodings listed in the following URL.
https://perldoc.perl.org/Encode::Supported#Supported-Encodings
Use UTF-8 unless you specifically need a different encoding.

in .csv and .xlsx output files.
