write_xdb_experiment: Write SALUS xdb.xml Experiment Level Parameters

In jdeines/salustools: Tools to Work with the SALUS Crop Model

Description

This function writes the experiment arguments. Subsequent write_xdb_* functions append information about the rotational components. See http://salusmodel.glg.msu.edu/salus.ddb.xml for more information about SALUS parameter options. This function should be followed with write_xdb_rotation, write_xdb_m* (rotation management), and write_xdb_bottomMatter functions to complete the Experiment file.

Usage

write_xdb_experiment(outFile, ExpID, RunTitle, startYear, NYrs, startDOY,
  StationID, Weatherfp, SoilID, Soilfp, Cropfp)

Arguments

outFile	Full file path for an existing .xdb.xml to appended to, created with write_xdb_topMatter
ExpID	Sequential ID for experiment
RunTitle	Title for the experiment
startYear	Starting year of the simulation - SYear parameter
NYrs	Number of model years
startDOY	Starting day of year, fills in SDOY parameter
StationID	Weather Station ID
Weatherfp	Filepath to weather station .wdb.xml file. Currently relative to Experiment file
SoilID	Soil ID
Soilfp	Filepath to soil .sdb.xml file. Currently relative to Experiment file
Cropfp	Filepath to crop .cdb.xml database file. Currently relative to Experiment file

Details

All other SALUS Experiment parameters are set currently as default.

Examples

# file path to existing .xdb.xml file created by write_xdb_topMatter
fileOut <- 'C:/Users/deinesji/1PhdJill/test.xdb.xml'

# append Experiment parameters to .xdb.xml; numeric parameters can be character or numeric
write_xdb_experiment(fileOut, ExpID = 1, RunTitle = 'Test', startYear = 2006,
                     NYrs = 3, startDOY = 270, StationID = 1001,
                     Weatherfp = '1001.wdb.xml', SoilID = 'KS1017570',
                     Soilfp = 'KS.sdb.xml', Cropfp = 'cropsn29Dec2016.cdb.xml')
