Builds a cellHTS2 object from a data frame.

1	buildCellHTS2(xd, measurementNames)

`xd`	a data frame containing the columns `plate`, `replicate` and `well`, and the measurement columns. The `plate` and `replicate` columns must contain integer values, starting from 1. The `well` column must contain well names formed by one to two capitals letter followed by two digits, e.g. `A12` or `AB01`. Letter ordering is as follows: A, B, C,..., Z, AA, AB, AC,..., AZ, BA, BB, ..., ZZ.
`measurementNames`	an optional character vector containing the measurement names. If missing, the names of the measurement columns in `xd` are used. If `NULL`, the measurements are not named.

The function uses readPlateList to build a cellHTS2 object.

An object of class cellHTS, which extends the class NChannelSet.
