Import Luminescence Data into R

Description

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
