a dataframe with all data present in the files to import. New datetime and fluxid columns contain respectively the datetime of measurements and their original filename. If comments are present, a column will contain the comments. Measurement informations from the file names are stored in new columns according to plotinfo.

Arguments

path

location of the files. Note that the function is recursive and will import all the files at the location

version

"till2023" (default) refers to the setup before the li7500 update. For the update version, use "post2023".

plotinfo
