initProject: Init radio-tracking project

In Nature40/tRackIT: Process data recorded with automatic radio-tracking stations

Init radio-tracking project

Description

Creates directories and a R list with all the needed tRackIT-Project information. R list is stored as .rds in projroot directory-projroot/projID_idFile.rds

Usage

initProject(
  projroot = ".",
  logger_data_raw,
  tags = NULL,
  id_col = NULL,
  start_col = NULL,
  end_col = NULL,
  freq_col = NULL,
  dmin_col = NULL,
  dmax_col = NULL,
  stations = NULL,
  s_col,
  x_col,
  y_col,
  r_col,
  o_col,
  epsg = NULL,
  tz = NULL
)

Arguments

projroot	string, project directory
logger_data_raw	string, path to the full RTS dataset
tags	data.frame, table containing all relevant information of tagged individuals
id_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the name (ID) of the tagged individual
start_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the date of the tagging (yy-mm-dd)
end_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the end of the transmitter lifetime (yy-mm-dd)
freq_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the frequency of the transmitter in kHz
dmin_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the min duration of the transmitter signal in seconds (10ms=0.01 sec)
dmax_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the max duration of the transmitter signal in seconds (10ms=0.01 sec)
stations	data.frame, with station coordinates, station name, receiver name and antenna orientation
s_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the name of each station
x_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the X Coordinates
y_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the Y Coordinates
r_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the name of each receiver
o_col	string, name of the column in tags data.frame containing the orientation of antennas
epsg	numeric, epsg code of the coordinate system of stations coordinates- will be transformed to latlon
tz	string, timezone of project
