Description
Adds items freq
and time
to a Pamguard binary file
from the Whistle & Moan Detector
Usage
contourToFreq(data, verbose = FALSE)
Arguments
data |
either a |
verbose |
logical flag to print calculated parameters |
Value

Examples
# load example whistle file
wmFile <- system.file('extdata', 'WM.pgdf', package='PamBinaries')
wmData <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(wmFile)
# converts contour and FFT slice numbers to frequency and time values
wmData <- contourToFreq(wmData)

wmData$data[[1]]$time
Convert Pamguard Numeric Date to POSIXct
Description
a simple helper to convert Pamguard's numeric date to POSIXct format
Usage

Taiki Sakai taiki.sakai@noaa.gov
Examples
# load the example click binary data, leaving date as numeric
clickFile <- system.file('extdata', 'Click.pgdf', package='PamBinaries')
clickData <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile, convertDate = FALSE)

Count Number of Active Channels
Description
Counts the number of active channels given a channel mapping
Usage
countChannels(channelMap)
Arguments
channelMap |
Mapping of channels as a binary number |
Value
The number of active channels (number of ones)
Note
Altered from original script to loop through 30 instead 32 because R stores only 32 bit integers. Should not ever have enough channels for this to matter.

Usage
dateNumToMillis(datenum)
Arguments

Arguments
x |
character pointing to a Pamguard binary file, or a |

purposes this will insert NA columns into background data so that images show
up with time gaps as expected. Leave as |
Value

storing the POSIXct time of each background
measurement, and background

Load Pamguard Binary File
Description
This function will load in the data from a Pamguard binary file. It will figure out the type of data being read based on the header of the file. All functions based on Matlab code written by Michael Oswald.
Usage
loadPamguardBinaryFile(
fileName,
skipLarge = FALSE,
skipData = FALSE,
debug = FALSE,
keepUIDs = NULL,
convertDate = FALSE,
...
)
Arguments
fileName |
The name of the binary file to be read |
skipLarge |
Should we skip large parts of binaries? Currently only applicable to whistle, click, and DIFAR data |
skipData |
Should we skip all data and only read headers and footers? |
debug |
logical flag to show more info on errors |
keepUIDs |
If not |
convertDate |
logical flag to convert date from numeric to POSIXct. Defaults to
|
... |
Arguments passed to other functions |
Value
This function returns a list containing two objects. Data contains all the binary data read. fileInfo contains metadata information for the file.

Examples
# read example whistle data
wmFile <- system.file('extdata', 'WM.pgdf', package='PamBinaries')
whistleData <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(wmFile)
# works the same for different kinds of binary files
clickFile <- system.file('extdata', 'Click.pgdf', package='PamBinaries')
clickData <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile)
# convert date to POSIXct (default does not because it is faster)
clickPOSIX <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile, convertDate = TRUE)
clickData$data[[1]]$date
clickPOSIX$data[[1]]$date
# read only the fileInfo portion, has empty $data item
clickInfo <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile, skipData = TRUE)
# skip reading the large click waveforms, much faster if you dont need them
clickLess <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile, skipLarge = TRUE)
object.size(clickData)
object.size(clickLess)
# only read specific UID numbers
clickSpecific <- loadPamguardBinaryFile(clickFile, keepUIDs = c(4000006, 4000007))
names(clickSpecific$data)
Convert Java Millisecond Time to R
Description
Converts Java millisecond time into numeric time that R uses.
Usage
millisToDateNum(millis)
Arguments
millis |
Millisecond time from Java |
Value
Numeric time used by R.
Note
Original function was more relevant as Matlab and Java use different time origins. Java & R both use 1970-01-01, but Java stores as milliseconds vs seconds in R.

Read Pamguard Binary Data
Description
A wrapper for reading various types of binary data.
Usage
pamBinRead(
fid,
what = c("int8", "int16", "int32", "int64", "uint8", "uint16", "float", "double",
"character"),
n,
seek = FALSE
)
Arguments
fid |
The binary file being read |
what |
The type of data to read. Int64 is not handled natively by R, see note. |
n |
The number of objects to read. |
seek |
Whether or not to just seek instead of reading |
Value
Data of the type and number specified.
Note
R does not natively support 64-bit integers. Current implementation is to read an int64 as 8 separate 1-byte raw pieces. These are converted from hexidecimal, shifted by the appropriate power of 2, then summed. Currently cannot read more than one int64 at a time, shouldn't be necessary.

Convert a PamBinary Object to Data Frame
Description
Converts a PamBinary object into a data frame. The data.frame
will combine all of the data from the data
part of the PamBinary
object, but will not include annotations data, click waveforms, DIFAR demux
data, or contours from the WMD detector. These are skipped because they are
either inconsistent in their size, or are large objects. The function
pbToDf
is also called when as.data.frame
is called on a PamBinary
class object.
Usage
pbToDf(pb, templateNames = NULL)
Arguments
pb |
a PamBinary class object created by
|
templateNames |
if using the click template classifier, the names of the species for the click templates. These will be used as the names of the columns in the dataframe, and the length of this must exactly match the number of templates used. Will add columns for the threshold, match, and reject correlation values for each template name provided |
Value
a data.frame containing most of the binary data read in. Will not
contain most annotation data, click waveforms, DIFAR demux data, or contour
information from WMD detector. These are skipped because they are either
incosistent in their size, or are large objects. Click template classifier
information will be included if templateNames
are supplied. If binary
is from noise band monitor, noise data will be stored in columns noiseMean,
noisePeak, and octaveBands, and the resulting dataframe will have a row for
each separate octave band stored
