as.echosounder: Coerce Data into an Echosounder Object

Description

Coerces a dataset into a echosounder dataset.

Usage

as.echosounder(
  time,
  depth,
  a,
  src = "",
  sourceLevel = 220,
  receiverSensitivity = -55.4,
  transmitPower = 0,
  pulseDuration = 400,
  beamwidthX = 6.5,
  beamwidthY = 6.5,
  frequency = 41800,
  correction = 0
)

Arguments

time

times of pings

depth

depths of samples within pings

a

matrix of amplitudes

src

optional string indicating data source

sourceLevel

source level, in dB (uPa at 1m), denoted sl in reference 1 p15, where it is in units 0.1dB (uPa at 1m)

receiverSensitivity

receiver sensitivity of the main element, in dB(counts/uPa), denoted rs in reference 1 p15, where it is in units of 0.1dB(counts/uPa)

transmitPower

transmit power reduction factor, in dB, denoted tpow in reference 1 p10, where it is in units 0.1 dB.

pulseDuration

duration of transmitted pulse in us

beamwidthX

x-axis -3dB one-way beamwidth in deg, denoted bwx in reference 1 p16, where the unit is 0.2 deg

beamwidthY

y-axis -3dB one-way beamwidth in deg, denoted bwx in reference 1 p16, where the unit is 0.2 deg

frequency

transducer frequency in Hz, denoted fq in reference 1 p16

correction

user-defined calibration correction in dB, denoted corr in reference 1 p14, where the unit is 0.01dB.

Value

An '>echosounder object.

Details

Creates an echosounder file. The defaults for e.g. transmitPower are taken from the echosounder dataset, and they are unlikely to make sense generally.
