checkTemperatures

Description

checkTemperatures checks for flags (3) regarding raw temperature parameters.

Usage

checkTemperatures(data, return_flags = FALSE)

Arguments

data	list format output of procFulcrum.
return_flags	a logical, default FALSE, set to TRUE if flagged rows in procFulcrum dataframes are to be returned and saved in list format.

Details

Will return the flagged rows (and neighboring rows if appropriate), and necessary columns for flag visualization on procFulcrum output. The returned fulcrum_id can be used in fixTemperatures to make changes to these raw temperature parameters. See fixTemperatures documentation for information on how to make these changes. flagged substrate temperature: occurs when substrate temperature > 40, procFulcrum will automatically convert to celsius (assumes temperature incorrectly in fahrenheit). flagged ambient temperature: occurs when ambient temperature > 40, procFulcrum will automatically convert to celsius (assumes temperature incorrectly in fahrenheit). flagged ambient run temperature: occurs when ambient humidity and temperature are repeated five times or more in subsequent measurements, this is meant to flag values if probe is stuck, procFulcrum does not automatically modify anything for this flag.

Value

rows with flagged substrate temperature, flagged ambient temperature, flagged ambient run temperature (and surrounding rows that cause flag to be triggered) these returns will also contain relevant columns for understanding flagged values and how they arose these dataframes can be saved as a list of three dataframes when return_flags is set to TRUE
