In MotusWTS/motusServer: Operate a server to process data for http://motus.org

#' create an interim .sqlite file with tables of pulses and antenna parameters
#'
#' For now, beeper tags are supported by generating an .sqlite file with
#' pulses and parameter settings because the tag finder doesn't yet
#' support assembling runs of pulses from a beeper tag.
#'
#' @param j the job, with these fields:
#' \itemize{
#' \item serno - the receiver serial number
#' \item batchID - the batchID for which to export pulses
#' }
#'
#' @return TRUE
#'
#' @details The data are written to tables 'pulses' and 'params' in an sqlite
#' file.  The sqlite file is stored in the download folder for the project
#' owning the batch.  This is given by \code{file.path(MOTUS_PATH$WWW,motusProjectID}
#' The file has a name like `SG-1234BBBK5678_beeper.sqlite`.
#'
#' Schemas for the tables are copied from the receiver database tables
#' `params` and `pulses`.
#'
#' @export
