Read a Sontek acoustic-Doppler profiler file, in a serial form that is possibly unique to Dalhousie University.
read.adp.sontek.serial(file, from = 1, to, by = 1,
tz = getOption("oceTz"), longitude = NA, latitude = NA,
type = c("adp", "pcadp"), beamAngle = 25, orientation,
monitor = FALSE, processingLog, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))a connection or a character string giving the name of the file
to load. (For read.adp.sontek.serial, this is generally a list of
files, which will be concatenated.)
indication of the first profile to read. This can be an
integer, the sequence number of the first profile to read, or a POSIXt time
before which profiles should be skipped, or a character string that converts
to a POSIXt time (assuming UTC timezone). See “Examples”, and make
careful note of the use of the tz argument. If from is not
supplied, it defaults to 1.
an optional indication of the last profile to read, in a
format as described for from. As a special case, to=0 means
to read the file to the end. If to is not supplied, then it defaults
to 0.
an optional indication of the stride length to use while walking through
the file. If this is an integer, then by-1 profiles are skipped
between each pair of profiles that is read, e.g. the default by=1
means to read all the data. (For RDI files only, there are some
extra features to avoid running out of memory; see “Memory considerations”.)
character string indicating time zone to be assumed in the data.
optional signed number indicating the longitude in degrees East.
optional signed number indicating the latitude in degrees North.
a character string indicating the type of instrument.
angle between instrument axis and beams, in degrees.
optional character string specifying the orientation of the
sensor, provided for those cases in which it cannot be inferred from the
data file. The valid choices are "upward", "downward", and
"sideward".
boolean, set to TRUE to provide an indication of progress
in reading the file, either by printing a dot for each profile or by writing
a textual progress bar with txtProgressBar.
if provided, the action item to be stored in the log. (Typically only provided for internal calls; the default that it provides is better for normal calls by a user.)
a flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more.
additional arguments, passed to called routines.
An adp object, i.e. one inheriting from adp-class.
The form of this object varies with instrument type. In some cases
navigational data may be included, e.g. read.adp.rdi can
read NMEA strings (which get stored in an item called nmea
in the data slot).
