Convert absorbance data from a .dat file to .csv file

Takes a folder of .dat absorbance files and converts them to .csv in the correct format for reading in using the the 'absorbance_read' function from the staRdom package.

Usage

abs_preprocess(prjpath, runtype = "sampleQ", meta)

Arguments

prjpath: a string indicating the project file containing the absorbance data to process
runtype: indicates how data was run on the Aqualog, either "manual", "sampleQ", or "mixed". If "mixed" it will get run type from the metadata
meta: the metadata table for the sample run, only required if runtype is "mixed"

Details

Use 'clean_files' function before running this function to ensure file structure is correct for pre-processing.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
  abs_preprocess(prjpath=prjpath, "mixed", meta)
}
