center_scan: Center the data from scan misalignment

In EmmaLiTsai/recoverKBTDR: Recovering Records From Kooyman-Billups Time Depth Recorders (KBTDRs)

Center the data from scan misalignment

Description

The record often slightly moves while being fed into the scanner, which often results in unavoidable misalignment throughout the record. To ensure that any drift is from the TDR and not from scanning, centering the record is recommended as future recovery calculations assume that depth = 0 is the same as y = 0.

Usage

center_scan(trace, time_dots, center_along_y = 1.1)

Arguments

trace	data frame containing the xy positions of the dive trace
time_dots	data frame contains the xy positions of the timing dots
center_along_y	the horizontal line to center the timing dots along

Value

Centered trace data frame

Examples

## Not run: 
# If you'd like to center the timing dots below the record
# along y = -0.9
center_scan(trace, time_dots, center_along_y = 0.9)

## End(Not run)
