readTestTag: Read In Test Tag Data

In KevinSee/PITcleanr: Cleans up PIT tag capture histories

Read In Test Tag Data

Description

The function reads in complete tag histories and filters out any tag not designated a test tag by the tag code prefix.

Usage

readTestTag(
  cth_file = NULL,
  file_type = c("PTAGIS", "Biologic_csv", "raw"),
  test_tag_prefix = "3E7"
)

Arguments

cth_file	is the path to the complete tag history file
file_type	describes the source of the complete tag history file. If PTAGIS, then cth_file should be a PTAGIS observation file downloaded as a csv from PTAGIS. This must be the output from a Complete Tag History query (part of the Advanced Reporting). This query should contain: Tag, Mark Species, Mark Rear Type, Event Type, Event Site Type, Event Site Code, Event Date Time, Antenna, Antenna Group Configuration, Event Release Site Code, and Event Release Date Time. If Biologic_csv, that implies the data was downloaded from Biologic software in a .csv format. If raw, that implies the data was downloaded directly from the reader, in either a .log or .xlsx format. In this case, the largest string containing alphabetic characters in the file name will be assigned as the site code.
test_tag_prefix	The prefix that designates a tag code as a test tag. These detections are filtered out of the returned tibble

Value

a tibble containing the raw detections of test tags
