read_sunscan: Reading SunScan Output Files

In kamapu/cropgrowth: Assessing Results from Crop Growth Modelling

Description

Importing SunScan readings from text files (output files) into the session.

Groups of readings are usually split in different tables within an output file, which are the elements of the output list if 'collapse=FALSE'. At the moment only versions 1 and 2 are implemented in the function.

Data frames are separated in the lists "Raw" and "LAI" depending on the content of the tables. Raw data are measurements of PAR, while LAI includes estimations of the leaf area index.

Usage

read_sunscan(file, version = 1, collapse = FALSE)

Arguments

file	Character value with the name of the file, including extension.
version	Version of the output file as integer.
collapse	A logical value indicating whether the output may be collapsed to a data frame or kept as a list.

Value

A list containing reading groups in separated data frames ('Raw' and 'LAI').

Examples

file_name <- file.path(path.package("cropgrowth"), "sunscan_v1.txt")
sunscan_v1 <- read_sunscan(file_name)

## Using collapse=TRUE
sunscan_v1 <- read_sunscan(file_name, collapse=TRUE)

## Second example (note different structure of the outputs)
file_name <- file.path(path.package("cropgrowth"), "sunscan_v2.txt")
sunscan_v2 <- read_sunscan(file_name, version=2, collapse=TRUE)
