In OSLdecomposition: Signal Component Analysis for Optically Stimulated Luminescence

Check if an object is a valid RLum.Data.Curve record for use in RLum.OSL functions

Description

The input object is checked for the following properties:

• Is the object of class Luminescence::RLum.Data.Curve ?

• Does the objects record type match with this functions argument record_type?

• Is the record not just a XSYG metadata object (marked by '_' before the record type name)?

• Is the curve of type XY, thus has it a 2 x N dimension?

• If a curve_template is provided, the input object is also checked if it matches number of data points, x-axis and the info parameters "LPOWER", "LTYPE" and "TEMPERATURE".

If all checks are positive, the input object is regarded as suitable for the functions RLum.OSL_correction, RLum.OSL_global_fitting, RLum.OSL_decomposition and other functions if their input curve is of type Luminescence::RLum.Data.Curve.

Usage

check_RLum.Data(
  object,
  record_type = "OSL",
  curve_template = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

object	Luminescence::RLum.Data.Curve (required): Input object which shall be tested.
record_type	character (with default): Expected type of record of the input object, for example: "OSL","SGOSL" or "IRSL".
curve_template	Luminescence::RLum.Data.Curve (optional): Curve to check x-axis and some measurement parameter against.
verbose	logical (with default): Enables console text output.

Value

A bolean value: TRUE or FALSE.
