TDR-class {diveMove}R Documentation

Classes "TDR" and "TDRvel" for representing TDR information

Description

These classes store information gathered by time-depth recorders.

Details

Since the data to store in objects of these clases usually come from a file, the easiest way to construct such objects is by using the function readTDR to retrieve all the necessary information.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("TDR", ...) and new("TDRvel", ...).

TDR objects contain concurrent time and depth readings, as well as a string indicating the file the data originates from, and a number indicating the sampling interval for these data. TDRvel objects contain, in addition, concurrent velocity readings.

Slots

In class TDR:

file:
Object of class "character", string indicating the file where the data comes from.
dtime:
Object of class "numeric", sampling interval in chron units (d).
time:
Object of class "chron", time stamp for every reading.
depth:
Object of class "numeric", depth (m) readings.

Class TDRvel adds:

velocity:
Object of class "numeric" velocity (m/s) readings.
