readBIN2R: Import Risoe BIN-file into R

Description

Import a *.bin file produced by a Risoe DA15 and DA20 TL/OSL reader into R.

Usage

readBIN2R(file)

Arguments

file

character (required): the bin-file name (including path), e.g. [WIN]: readBIN2R("C:/Desktop/test.bin"), [MAC/LINUX]: readBIN2R("/User/test/Desktop/test.bin")

Value

• Returns an S4 Risoe.BINfileData-class object containing two slots:
• METADATA
  A data.frame containing all variables stored in the bin-file.
• DATA
  A list containing a numeric vector of the measured data. The ID corresponds to the record ID in METADATA

Details

The binary data file is parsed byte per byte following the data structure published in the Appendices of the Analyst manual p. 42. rlll{ [,1] ID : Unique record ID (same ID as in slot DATA) numeric [,2] SEL : Record selection logical [,3] VERSION : Data format version number raw [,4] LENGTH : Length of this record integer [,5] PREVIOUS : Length of previous record integer [,6] NPOINTS : Number of data points in the record integer [,7] LTYPE : Luminescence type factor [,8] LOW : Low (temperature, time, wavelength) numeric [,10] HIGH : High (temperature, time, wavelength) numeric [,11] RATE : Rate (heating rate, scan rate) numeric [,12] TEMPERATURE : Sample temperature integer [,13] XCOORD : X position of a single grain integer [,14] YCOORD : Y position of a single grain integer [,15] TOLDELAY : TOL 'delay' channels integer [,16] TOLON : TOL 'on' channels integer [,17] TOLOFF : TOL 'off' channels integer [,18] POSITION : Carousel position integer [,19] RUN : Run number integer [,20] TIME : Data collection time (hh-mm-ss) factor [,21] DATA : Data collection date (dd-mm-yy) factor [,22] SEQUENCE : Sequence name factor [,23] USER : User name factor [,24] DTYPE : Data type factor [,25] IRR_TIME : Irradiation time numeric [,26] IRR_TYPE : Irradiation type (alpha, beta or gamma) integer [,27] IRR_UNIT : Irradiation unit (Gy, Rads, secs, mins, hrs) integer [,28] BL_TIME : Bleaching time numeric [,29] BL_UNIT : Bleaching unit (mJ, J, secs, mins, hrs) integer [,30] AN_TEMP : Annealing temperature numeric [,31] AN_TIME : Annealing time numeric [,32] NORM1 : Normalisation factor (1) numeric [,33] NORM2 : Normalisation factor (2) numeric [,34] NORM3 : Normalisation factor (3) numeric [,35] BG : Background level numeric [,36] SHIFT : Number of channels to shift data integer [,37] SAMPLE : Sample name factor [,38] COMMENT : Comment factor [,39] LIGHTSOURCE : Light source factor [,40] SET : Set Number integer [,41] TAG : Tag integer [,42] GRAIN : Grain number integer [,43] LPOWER : Optical Stimulation Power numeric [,44] SYSTEMID : System ID integer }
