Estimate Volume Analyzed from IFCB ADC File

Source: R/ifcb_volume_analyzed_from_adc.R
ifcb_volume_analyzed_from_adc.Rd

This function reads an IFCB ADC file to extract sample run time and inhibittime, and returns the associated estimate of sample volume analyzed (in milliliters). The function assumes a standard IFCB configuration with a sample syringe operating at 0.25 mL per minute. For IFCB instruments after 007 and higher (except 008). This is the R equivalent function of IFCB_volume_analyzed_fromADC from the ifcb-analysis repository (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_volume_analyzed_from_adc(adc_file)

Arguments

adc_file

A character vector specifying the path(s) to one or more .adc files or URLs.

Value

A list containing:

  • ml_analyzed: A numeric vector of estimated sample volume analyzed for each ADC file.

  • inhibittime: A numeric vector of inhibittime values extracted from ADC files.

  • runtime: A numeric vector of runtime values extracted from ADC files.
