Usage
read.adp.sontek.serial(file, from = 1, to, by = 1, tz = getOption("oceTz"), longitude = NA, latitude = NA, type = c("adp", "pcadp"), beamAngle = 25, orientation, monitor = FALSE, processingLog, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))
Arguments
file
a connection or a character string giving the name of the file
to load. (For read.adp.sontek.serial, this is generally a list of
files, which will be concatenated.
from
indication of the first profile to read. This can be an
integer, the sequence number of the first profile to read, or a POSIXt time
before which profiles should be skipped, or a character string that converts
to a POSIXt time (assuming UTC timezone). See “Examples”, and make
careful note of the use of the tz argument.
to
if supplied, an indication of the last profile to read, in a
format as described for from. If not supplied, the whole file will
be read.
by
an indication of the stride length to use while walking through
the file. If this is an integer, then by-1 profiles are skipped
between each pair of profiles that is read. If this is a string
representing a time interval, in colon-separated format (MM:SS), then this
interval is divided by the sampling interval, to get the stride length.
tz
character string indicating time zone to be assumed in the data.
longitude
optional signed number indicating the longitude in degrees
East.
latitude
optional signed number indicating the latitude in degrees
North.
type
A character string indicating the type of instrument.
beamAngle
angle between instrument axis and beams, in degrees.
orientation
Ooptional character string specifying the orientation of the
sensor, provided for those cases in which it cannot be inferred from the
data file. The valid choices are "upward", "downward", and
"sideward".
monitor
boolean, set to TRUE to provide an indication (with
numbers and dots) of every profile read.
processingLog
if provided, the action item to be stored in the log.
(Typically only provided for internal calls; the default that it provides is
better for normal calls by a user.)
debug
a flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate
amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more.
...
additional arguments, passed to called routines.
