Arguments

duration

Either a numeric vector containing the duration (in seconds) of each load step, or a data.frame containing columns for duration and load.

load

A numeric vector of the same length as duration containing the corresponding load of each step. Not needed, if load and duration are both given in a data.frame as the first argument of the function.

set_protocol_manual(
  duration = c(300, 120, 300, 60, 300),
  load = c(3, 5, 3, 6, 3)
)

# using a data.frame as input
pt_data <- data.frame(
  duration = c(180, 150, 120, 90, 60, 30),
  load = c(200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450)
)
