TDR-class {diveMove}

Classes "TDR" and "TDRspeed" 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 with the function readTDR to retrieve all the necessary information.

Functions

• TDRspeed-class: Class TDRspeed

Slots

file

Object of class ‘character’, string indicating the file where the data comes from.

dtime

Object of class ‘numeric’, sampling interval in seconds.

time

Object of class POSIXct, time stamp for every reading.

depth

Object of class ‘numeric’, depth (m) readings.

concurrentData

Object of class data.frame, optional data collected concurrently.

Objects from the class

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

‘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. ‘TDRspeed’ extends ‘TDR’ objects containing additional concurrent speed readings.
