Import Luminescence Data into R

Source: R/import_Data.R
import_Data.Rd

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.

Usage

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.

Value

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

Function version

0.1.5
