Working with SCA

TRANSLOCATION provides modification of intensities of SCA files. Various programs produce different headers of the SCA files. Therefore, it is necessary to specify how many initial lines belong to the header.

The original_file.sca starts with following lines:

   1
-987
   83.500    96.740    57.970    90.000    90.000    90.000 c 2 2 21
  0   0   2   155.1     3.7
  0   0   3    -0.0     0.1
  0   0   4  2852.9    56.1
  0   0   5    -0.1     0.2
  0   0   6   531.2    11.3
  0   0   7     0.5     0.3
  0   0   8   384.1     8.5

The first three lines is header information. They must be ommited (ignored) this way:

python3 -m translocation -o new_file.sca --sca original_file.sca --sca_ignore 3 --k1 0.09 --fc1 0.4 0.3 0.0 --k2 0.13 --fc2 ...

The new_file.sca contains corrected intensities that can be further processed with standard tools. Please, archive the *original_file.sca!
