readBIN2R: Import Risoe BIN-file into R
Description
Import a *.bin or a *.binx file produced by a Risoe DA15 and DA20
TL/OSL reader into R.Usage
readBIN2R(file, show.raw.values = FALSE, n.records, show.record.number = FALSE,
txtProgressBar = TRUE, forced.VersionNumber)Arguments
file
character (required): bin-file name (including path), e.g.
[WIN]: readBIN2R("C:/Desktop/test.bin"),
[MAC/LINUX]: readBIN2R("/User/test/Desktop/test.bin") show.raw.values
logical (with default): shows raw values from BIN file for
LTYPE, DTYPE and LIGHTSOURCE without translation in characters. n.records
raw (optional): limits the number of imported records. Can be used in
combination with show.record.number for debugging purposes, e.g. corrupt BIN files. show.record.number
logical (with default): shows record number of the imported record,
for debugging usage only. forced.VersionNumber
integer (optional): allows to cheat the version number check in the
function by own values for cases where the BIN-file version is not supported.
Note: The usage is at own risk, only supported BIN-file versions have b Value
- Returns an S4 Risoe.BINfileData-class object containing two slots:
- METADATAA data.frame containing all variables stored in the bin-file.
- DATAA 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 by byte following the data structure
published in the Appendices of the Analyst manual p. 42.
For the general BIN-file structure, the reader is referred to the Risoe
