read_olympus_vanta: Read Olympus Vanta, Panalytical XRF files

In paleolimbot/paleoxrf: Tools for reading and manipulating paleo XRF data

Description

The standard Olympus Vanta file presents all elemental concentrations in ppm, and all errors as 1 standard deviation. The default Panalytical output format specifies the unit for each measurement, and does not consider error. These functions do their best to keep all available information in the output, standardizing the columns xrf_info, date_time, and sample_id. Concentration columns end in 'conc', standard deviation columns end in 'sd', and count columns end in 'Iraw' or 'Inet'.

Usage

read_olympus_vanta(path, sample_id_col = "info", tz = "UTC")

read_panalytical_txt(path, sample_id_col = "Ident", tz = "UTC")

Arguments

path	The location of the file
sample_id_col	The column containing the sample identifier
tz	Timezone of specified times

Value

A data.frame

Examples

read_olympus_vanta(system.file("xrf_files/olympus_vanta_test.csv", package = "paleoxrf"))
read_panalytical_txt(system.file("xrf_files/panalytical_test.txt", package = "paleoxrf"))
