import_Data function

Import Luminescence Data into R

Convenience wrapper function to provide a quicker and more standardised way of reading data into R by looping through all in the package available data import functions starting with read_. Import data types can be mixed.

import_Data(file, ..., fastForward = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

• file: character (required ): file to be imported, can be a list or a character vector
• ...: arguments to be further passed down to supported functions (please check the functions to determine the correct arguments)
• fastForward: logical (with default): option to create RLum objects during import or a list of such objects
• verbose: logical (with default): enable/disable output to the terminal.

Returns

Always returns a list ; empty or filled with RLum.Analysis objects

Function version

0.1.5

Examples

## import BINX/BIN
file <- system.file("extdata/BINfile_V8.binx", package = "Luminescence")
temp <- import_Data(file)

## RF data
file <- system.file("extdata", "RF_file.rf", package = "Luminescence")
temp <- import_Data(file)
