Class "RLum.Data.Curve"

Class for representing luminescence curve data.

Slots

recordType

Object of class "character" containing the type of the curve (e.g. "TL" or "OSL")

curveType

Object of class "character" containing curve type, allowed values are "measured" or "predefined"

data

Object of class matrix containing curve x and y data. 'data' can also be of type RLum.Data.Curve to change object values without de-constructing the object. For example:

set_RLum(class = 'RLum.Data.Curve',
         data = Your.RLum.Data.Curve,
         recordType = 'never seen before')

would just change the recordType. Missing arguments the value is taken from the input object in 'data' (which is already an RLum.Data.Curve object in this example)

Note

The class should only contain data for a single curve. For additional elements the slot info can be used (e.g. providing additional heating ramp curve). Objects from the class RLum.Data.Curve are produced by other functions (partly within RLum.Analysis objects), namely: Risoe.BINfileData2RLum.Analysis, read_XSYG2R

Create objects from this Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form set_RLum(class = "RLum.Data.Curve", ...).
