The program edit a template named IOP_Station_TEMPLATE.Rnw located in the package data folder. It will extract a number of informations from the current data directory and RData files, cast.info.dat and instruments.dat files. For example, the Latitude/Longitude are extracted from the cast.info.dat file to create a map (Figure 1 of the report). Next it uses the brew package to update the Rnw files.
