syncLightCycle: Synchronize experiment to its light cycle

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

Description

This method syncs an experiment to a cycling light. This ensures that the start of each experimental day occurs at the same time that the lights switch on or off. Useful for plotting and subsetting your data by days.

Usage

syncLightCycle(DAM, ..., completeFirstDay = FALSE, lightFirst = TRUE)

Arguments

DAM	A valid DAM S4 experiment you wish to sync
completeFirstDay	A boolean value. If true, the first incomplete day in the dataset is removed. If false, NAs are added to make an incomplete first day have 24 full hours. Default: FALSE
lightFirst	A boolean value. If true, the experiment is synced so that light periods appear first (otherwise dark periods are first). Default: TRUE

Value

Returns a DAM S4 object, synced by light cycle.
