read_files: Read LiCOR Files

In PaulESantos/co2fluxtent: Tools for NEE and ET Fitting from CO2 Flux

Read LiCOR Files

Description

Generate a list of LiCOR files used in the NEE (Net Ecosystem Exchange) or ET (Evapotranspiration) measurements.

Usage

read_files(path, photo = "photo", resp = "resp", ambient = "a")

Arguments

path	A character string representing the path to the folder containing the LiCOR files to be analyzed.
photo	A character string representing the pattern to identify photosynthesis measurement files.
resp	A character string representing the pattern to identify respiration measurement files.
ambient	A character string representing the pattern to identify ambient flux measurement files.

Details

This function reads LiCOR files generated by a LiCOR 7500 analyzer and organizes them into lists based on the specified patterns.

This function reads LiCOR files based on the specified patterns for photosynthesis, respiration, and ambient flux measurements.

If the 'path' parameter is missing, the function will prompt the user to set the working directory to the folder containing the LiCOR files.

Value

A list containing three elements: 'photo_names' for photosynthesis files, 'ambient_names' for ambient flux files, and 'resp_names' for respiration files.

Examples

# Example 1: Read LiCOR files from the current working directory interactively.
# li_cor_data <- read_files()

# Example 2: Read LiCOR files from a specified directory with custom file patterns.
# li_cor_data <- read_files("path/to/files",
# photo = "photosynth",
# resp = "resp_flux",
# ambient = "amb")
