convert_PSL2CSV: Export PSL-file(s) to CSV-files

In R-Lum/Luminescence: Comprehensive Luminescence Dating Data Analysis

Export PSL-file(s) to CSV-files

Description

This function is a wrapper function around the functions read_PSL2R and write_RLum2CSV and it imports an PSL-file (SUERC portable OSL reader file format) and directly exports its content to CSV-files. If nothing is set for the argument path (write_RLum2CSV) the input folder will become the output folder.

Usage

convert_PSL2CSV(file, extract_raw_data = FALSE, single_table = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

file	character (required): name of the PSL-file to be converted to CSV-files
extract_raw_data	logical (with default): enable/disable raw data extraction. The PSL files imported into R contain an element ⁠$raw_data⁠, which provides a few more information (e.g., count errors), sometimes it makes sense to use this data of the more compact standard values created by read_PSL2R
single_table	logical (with default): enable/disable the creation of single table with n rows and n columns, instead of separate data.frame objects. Each curve will be represented by two columns for time and counts
...	further arguments that will be passed to the function read_PSL2R and write_RLum2CSV

Value

The function returns either a CSV-file (or many of them) or for the option export = FALSE a list comprising objects of type data.frame and matrix
