ReadiButtonFile: Read Individual iButton File

In mltConsEcol/iButtonDataOrganizer: iButton Data Organizer

Description

Import an individual iButton data file as a zoo object.

Usage

ReadiButtonFile(path, StartDate, EndDate, DailyStartTime, DailyEndTime,
  exceltime = FALSE, hdlen = 14)

Arguments

path	Desired file with the data.
StartDate	First desired date (and time) of the dataset (in format 'YYYY-MM-DD' or 'YYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' (in 24 hour time))
EndDate	Last desired date (and time) of the dataset (in format 'YYYY-MM-DD' or 'YYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' (in 24 hour time))
DailyStartTime	If only a portion of the day is desired, the start daily start time (in format 'HH:MM:SS' (in 24 hour time))
DailyEndTime	If only a portion of the day is desired, the start daily end time (in format 'HH:MM:SS' (in 24 hour time))
exceltime	Indicates whether function should read the date and time stamp as formatted when an iButton file is saved in Microsoft Excel, as it changes the format. Default is FALSE.
hdlen	Specifies the length of the header, as not all iButton data files have same header length. For example, model DS1921G has a header of 14 lines (which is the default for the function), while DS1922L has a header of 19 lines. This can be determined by opening an iButton data file in a text editor and counting how many lines are before the column names for the data.

Value

zoo object
