background_exp.rd {respR}

Background respirometry data (exponential)

Description

Background oxygen consumption data. Data shows a background rate which increases exponentially with respect to time. Taken from a Loligo swim tunnel background recording. Oxygen recorded via a Witrox sensor in % air saturation over nearly 6 hours at 1 second intervals. Data is from a real experiment, but oxygen decrease curve has been exaggerated to impose an exponential increase in background consumption for testing purposes.

Usage
