#' @title Load timeseries from properly formatted text file.
#' 
#' @description A convenience function to load timeseries data into R based on the
#' standardized format used by Lake Analyzer.
#' 
#' Timeseries files must follow a common format. The first column must have the
#' label 'datetime' and be of the format \emph{yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS} (ISO 8601
#' without the "T" delimiter). The second can be skipped if not using
#' sub-minute data.
#' 
#' @param fPath The file path as a string.
#' @param tz Timezone string to be supplied to \code{\link{as.POSIXct}}.
#' Defaults to GMT (UTC-0). This often can be left to the default unless
#' timezone support is specifically required.
#' @return A data frame in the required format for use with other rLakeAnalyzer
#' timeseries functions.
#' @seealso For dataloading \code{\link{ts.meta.depths}}, \cr For analyzing
#' timeseries data, see \code{\link{ts.meta.depths}},
#' \code{\link{ts.thermo.depth}}, \code{\link{ts.schmidt.stability}},
#' \code{\link{ts.lake.number}}.
