record_y_tube: Record choice data from Y-tube olfactometer experiments

In Dr-Joe-Roberts/olfactometeR: Collect and Analyse Data from Olfactometer Experiments

Description

record_y_tube allows the user to record the choices made by study subjects in Y-tube olfactometer experiments.

Upon executing record_y_tube the user will be prompted in the console to enter the following information before recording: User initials', 'Year of experiment', 'Experiment number', 'Replicate number' and 'Olfactometer arm containing treatment'.

Each Y-tube olfactometer arm corresponds to a numerical key, either one or two. When a study subject enters an olfactometer arm and crosses the pre-determined decision line the user must use the numerical key corresponding to the olfactometer arm to record the individual as making a choice. Recording will automatically terminate once a choice has been made.

Usage

record_y_tube()

Value

coderecord_y_tube returns a summary table in the console.
