read_RF2R function

Import RF-files to R

Import files produced by the IR-RF 'ImageJ' macro (SR-RF.ijm; Mittelstraß and Kreutzer, 2021) into R and create a list of RLum.Analysis

objects

read_RF2R(file, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

• file: character (required ): path and file name of the RF file. Alternatively a list of file names can be provided.
• verbose: logical (with default): enable/disable output to the terminal.
• ...: not used, only for compatible reasons

Returns

Returns an S4 RLum.Analysis object containing RLum.Data.Curve objects for each curve.

Details

The results of spatially resolved IR-RF data are summarised in so-called RF-files (Mittelstraß and Kreutzer, 2021). This functions provides an easy import to process the data seamlessly with the R package 'Luminescence'. The output of the function can be passed to function analyse_IRSAR.RF .

Function version

0.1.1

Examples

##Import
file <- system.file("extdata", "RF_file.rf", package = "Luminescence")
temp <- read_RF2R(file)
