e_fluence: Energy fluence

Description

Energy fluence for one or more wavebands of a light source spectrum and a duration of the exposure.

Usage

e_fluence(
  spct,
  w.band,
  exposure.time,
  scale.factor,
  wb.trim,
  use.cached.mult,
  use.hinges,
  allow.scaled,
  ...
)
# S3 method for default
e_fluence(
  spct,
  w.band,
  exposure.time,
  scale.factor,
  wb.trim,
  use.cached.mult,
  use.hinges,
  allow.scaled,
  ...
)
# S3 method for source_spct
e_fluence(
  spct,
  w.band = NULL,
  exposure.time,
  scale.factor = 1,
  wb.trim = getOption("photobiology.waveband.trim", default = TRUE),
  use.cached.mult = getOption("photobiology.use.cached.mult", default = FALSE),
  use.hinges = NULL,
  allow.scaled = FALSE,
  naming = "default",
  ...
)
# S3 method for source_mspct
e_fluence(
  spct,
  w.band = NULL,
  exposure.time,
  scale.factor = 1,
  wb.trim = getOption("photobiology.waveband.trim", default = TRUE),
  use.cached.mult = getOption("photobiology.use.cached.mult", default = FALSE),
  use.hinges = NULL,
  allow.scaled = FALSE,
  ...,
  attr2tb = NULL,
  idx = "spct.idx",
  .parallel = FALSE,
  .paropts = NULL
)

Arguments

spct

an R object

w.band

a list of waveband objects or a waveband object

exposure.time

lubridate::duration object.

scale.factor

numeric vector of length 1, or length equal to that of w.band. Numeric multiplier applied to returned values.

wb.trim

logical if TRUE wavebands crossing spectral data boundaries are trimmed, if FALSE, they are discarded

use.cached.mult

logical indicating whether multiplier values should be cached between calls

use.hinges

logical Flag indicating whether to insert "hinges" into the spectral data before integration so as to reduce interpolation errors at the boundaries of the wavebands.

allow.scaled

logical indicating whether scaled or normalized spectra as argument to spct are flagged as an error

...

other arguments (possibly ignored)

naming

character one of "long", "default", "short" or "none". Used to select the type of names to assign to returned value.

attr2tb

character vector, see add_attr2tb for the syntax for attr2tb passed as is to formal parameter col.names.

idx

character Name of the column with the names of the members of the collection of spectra.

.parallel

if TRUE, apply function in parallel, using parallel backend provided by foreach

.paropts

a list of additional options passed into the foreach function when parallel computation is enabled. This is important if (for example) your code relies on external data or packages: use the .export and .packages arguments to supply them so that all cluster nodes have the correct environment set up for computing.

Value

One numeric value for each waveband with no change in scale factor, with name attribute set to the name of each waveband unless a named list is supplied in which case the names of the list elements are used. The exposure.time is copied to the output as an attribute. Units are as follows: (J) joules per exposure.

Methods (by class)

• default: Default for generic function

• source_spct: Calculate energy fluence from a source_spct object and the duration of the exposure.

• source_mspct: Calculates energy fluence from a source_mspct object.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(lubridate)
e_fluence(sun.spct, w.band = waveband(c(400,700)),
          exposure.time = lubridate::duration(3, "minutes") )

# }
