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)

Arguments

file: character (required): path and file name of the RF file. Alternatively a list of file names can be provided.

Value

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 the function analyse_IRSAR.RF
