rsk-class {oce} | R Documentation

## Class to store RBR rsk data

### Description

Class for data stored in the “Ruskin” format used by RBR [1] (including both `rsk` SQLite files and the ASCII `txt` exported files), with the standard `oce` slots, as follows.

- `data`: a list containing the `time`, plus other columns for data recorded by the device.

- `metadata`: a list containing the information about the data.

- `processingLog`: a log of processing steps, in the standard `oce` format.

### Methods

Data may be accessed as e.g. `rsk[["time"]]`, where the string could also be `"pressure"` or `"temperature"`. Items in `metadata` must be specifield by full name, but those in `data` may be abbreviated, so long as the abbreviation is unique. Assignment can be made with e.g. `rsk[["pressure"]] <- value`, etc.

A `rsk` object may be read with `read.rsk` or created with `as.rsk`. Plots can be made with `plot.rsk`, while `summary.rsk` produces statistical summaries and `show` produces overviews. If atmospheric pressure has not been removed from the data, the functions `rskPatm` may provide guidance as to its value; however, this last function is no equal to decent record-keeping at sea.
