Function (R) to read binary files as produced by the GENEActiv accelerometer

Description

R function wrapper around GENEActivReader to read binary files as produced by the GENEActiv accelerometer by ActivInsights Ltd https://activinsights.com/

Usage

  readGENEActiv(filename, start = 0L, end = 0L, progress_bar = FALSE,
                desiredtz = "", configtz = NULL)

Arguments

filename	filename (required)
start	start page for reading data
end	end page for reading data
progress_bar	Boolean
desiredtz	Character, timezone database name of the timezone where the accelerometer was worn.
configtz	Character, timezone database name of the timezone where the accelerometer was configured. Leave NULL if equal to timezone where experiment took place.

Details

If only start page is defined then all data is read beyond start until the end of the file is reached

header:

serial_number	Device serial number as extracted from file header
firmware	Firmware version
tzone	Time zone as extracted from file header
