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

)Returns an S4 Risoe.BINfileData object containing two slots:
A data.frame containing all variables stored in the BIN-file.
A list containing a numeric vector of the measured data. The ID corresponds to the record ID in METADATA.
If fastForward = TRUE a list of RLum.Analysis object is returned. The
internal coercing is done using the function Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis
character or list (required): path and file name of the
BIN/BINX file (URLs are supported). If input is a list it should comprise
only characters representing valid path and BIN/BINX-file names.
Alternatively, the input character can be just a directory (path), in which
case the function tries to detect and import all BIN/BINX files found in
the directory.
logical (with default):
shows raw values from BIN-file for LTYPE, DTYPE and LIGHTSOURCE without
translation in characters. Can be provided as list if file is a list.
numeric (optional):
imports only the selected position. Note: the import performance will not
benefit by any selection made here.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
numeric (optional): limits the number of imported records
to the provided record id (e.g., n.records = 1:10 imports the first ten records,
while n.records = 3 imports only record number 3. Can be used in combination with
show.record.number for debugging purposes, e.g. corrupt BIN-files.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
logical (with default):
remove erroneous data with no count values. As such data are usually not
needed for the subsequent data analysis they will be removed by default.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
logical (with default):
remove duplicated entries if TRUE. This may happen due to an erroneous
produced BIN/BINX-file. This option compares only predecessor and successor.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
logical (with default):
if TRUE for a more efficient data processing only a list of RLum.Analysis
objects is returned instead of a Risoe.BINfileData object.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
logical (with default):
shows record number of the imported record, for debugging usage only.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
Ignored if verbose = FALSE.
logical (with default):
enable/disable the progress bar. Ignored if verbose = FALSE.
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.
Can be provided as list if file is a list.
Note: The usage is at own risk, only supported BIN-file versions have been tested.
logical or numeric (with default):
this argument allows to ignore values in the byte 'RECTYPE' (BIN-file version 08),
in case there are not documented or faulty set. In this case the corrupted records are skipped.
If the setting is numeric (e.g., ignore.RECTYPE = 128), records of those type are ignored
for import.
character (optional): regular expression pattern passed to list.files to construct a list of files to read (used only when a path is provided).
logical (with default): enable/disable output to the terminal.
further arguments that will be passed to the function
Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis. Please note that any matching argument
automatically sets fastForward = TRUE
