The function licoread::import7500 is tailored to import
data files from the LI7500 tent setup described in Halbritter et al. (2024). Note that if
the default values of plotinfo_names follows the file
naming convention [location]_[date]_[time of day]_[trial].
The function is recursive and will read all the files in the designated
folder and subfolders. It is therefore necessary that the designated
folder contains only files to import and were all recorded with the same
setup.
The default settings import files from before the update of the LI7500.
# this step is not needed if you know where your data are
path_co2fluxtent <- system.file("extdata/co2fluxtent", package = "licoread")
data <- import7500(
path_co2fluxtent,
plotinfo_names = c("date", "location", "time_of_day", "trial")
)To read files created after the update of the LI7500, set
version = "post2023".
# this step is not needed if you know where your data are
path_pftc7 <- system.file("extdata/pftc7", package = "licoread")
data <- import7500(path_pftc7, version = "post2023", plotinfo = FALSE)In case a comment was written while creating the files (typically
inserted on the line above the column names), it is automatically added
in the column comment.
