mimsy 
"Calculate MIMS dissolved gas concentrations without getting a headache."
mimsy is a data analysis package that transforms raw MIMS (Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometer) signal data into dissolved gas concentration readings (mg, micromole) of N2, O2, and Ar based on gas solubility at temperature, pressure, and salinity. Supports both single and dual-temperature standard calibration MIMS setups with either one or two water baths, and uses a drift correction method to calculate gas concentration values. mimsy is designed to be simple and accessible for non-R users.
This package incorporates portions of the MIMS R functions written by Hilary Madinger and Bob Hall, available on Hilary Madinger's website.

# Load data into R
data <- read.csv(file = "data.csv", header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
# Run the mimsy function
results <- mimsy(data, baromet.press = 977.2, units = "hPa")
# Save the results
mimsy.save(results, file = "results.xlsx") # To Excel file
save(results, file = "results.RData") # To RData file
# Done! :)
