ARU_batch_import: A function to import a set of csv files.

In tlyons253/ARU: Processing of Automatic Telemetry Data

Description

produces a list where each frequency is a separate data frame and the tower the record came from is an additional variable

Usage

ARU_batch_import(folderdir, FORMAT = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
  tz = "America/Bogota")

Arguments

folderdir	is the folder containing the series of csv files you wish to import
FORMAT	is a character string specifying the time stamp format (be sure to specify a time zone if working with data that covers multiple time zones or includes ST and DST) provided the card was programmed using US date formating (mm/dd/YYYY) there should be no issue with the default
tz	Specify the time zone you want to use. This is metadata that is stored internally, but will ease transformations later on. The default is 'America/Bogata' which is GMT-5. This is set because our ARU's were initially set to CDST (GMT-5) and left year round. The America/Bogtata time zone does not observe DST.

Details

This function assumes csv file names follow a pattern where they file name ends as 'TOWER_X.csv where X is a number 0-9

Examples

a<-ARU_batch_import('C:/Users/mydirectory,FORMAT='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',tz='America/Bogota)
