exportDataset: Export a DAM experiment

In jstaf/actmon: A tool for parsing output produced by TriKinetics' Drosophila Activity Monitor.

Description

This is a convenience method to export your data for use with other software. Creates two files, a .txt file with the raw data for your dataset, and a .csv file with all of its metadata. The .txt file will be in the original TriKinetics format. NOTE: if you have performed any sleep calculations on a dataset, it will confuse other software packages. Export only activity counts if you wish to use a dataset in other DAM applications.

Usage

exportDataset(obj, filename)

Arguments

obj	A valid DAM S4 object (created by newExperiment)
filename	The filename MINUS THE EXTENSION that you wish to export your data to. Note that file extensions will automatically added.

Value

Writes two files to your current path: one with an experiment's raw data, and another with its metadata.

Examples

## Not run: 
exportDataset(DAM_DD, "baseFilename")
