In GGIRread: Wearable Accelerometer Data File Readers

Function to read binary files as produced by the accelerometer named 'Genea', not to be confused with the 'GENEActiv' (see package GENEAread for this)

Description

For reading the binary data as collected with a Genea accelerometer (Unilever Discover, UK). For reading GENEActive binary data, see package GENEAread.

Usage

  readGenea(filename, start = 0, end = 0)

Arguments

filename	filename (required)
start	start point for reading data, this can either be a timestamp in POSIXct format "year-month-day hr:min:sec" or a page number (optional)
end	end point for reading data, this can either be a timestamp in POSIXct format "year-month-day hr:min:sec" or a page number (optional)

Details

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

Value

rawxyz	matrix with raw x, y, and, z acceleration values
header	file header
timestamps1	timestamps for rawxyz in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00
timestamps2	timestamps for rawxyz in day time format
batt.voltage	matrix with battery voltage and corresponding timestamps
