In rambur: Design and Analysis of Intertidal Chamber Experiments

Chamber: Designing Multiday Profile

Description

A function to expand the diurnal patterns of environmental variables into multiday patterns.

Usage

chamber.design(
  daily.settings,
  start.date = "2025-04-30",
  timezone = "",
  export = TRUE,
  folder.path = NULL
)

Arguments

daily.settings	a data frame, diurnal patterns of environmental variables. Columns must match arguments of chamber.diurnal().
start.date	a character string, start date of the experiment. Time automatically set to 00:00:00.
timezone	a character string, time zone.
export	a logical, whether to export the output as files (e.g., Profile.txt).
folder.path	a character string, path to the export folder.

Value

a list of two data frames, daily.settings as input but with an extra column date, and design of expanded multiday patterns.

Examples

# acclimation phase
acc.daily.settings <- data.frame(day = seq(0, 34),
temp.air.mean = 17, temp.water.mean = 19)

acc <- chamber.design(acc.daily.settings,
start.date = "2025-05-15", export = FALSE)
## to save the output files, set 'export' to 'TRUE'.

acc
as.POSIXct(acc$design$timestamp[1], tz = "UTC")
acc$design$datetime[1]
acc$daily.settings$date[1]
