\title{Import measurement data produced by a Daybreak TL/OSL reader into R}
\usage{
read_Daybreak2R(file, raw = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, txtProgressBar = TRUE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{file}{\link{character} or \link{list} (\strong{required}):
path and file name of the file to be imported. Alternatively a list of file
names can be provided or just the path a folder containing measurement data.
Please note that the specific, common, file extension (txt) is likely
leading to function failures during import when just a path is provided.}

\item{raw}{\link{logical} (\emph{with default}):
if the input is a DAT-file (binary) a \link[data.table:data.table]{data.table::data.table} instead of
the \linkS4class{RLum.Analysis} object can be returned for debugging purposes.}

\item{verbose}{\link{logical} (\emph{with default}):
enable/disable output to the terminal.}

\item{txtProgressBar}{\link{logical} (\emph{with default}):
enable/disable \link{txtProgressBar}.}

\item{...}{not in use, for compatibility reasons only}
}
\value{
A list of \linkS4class{RLum.Analysis} objects (each per position) is provided.
}
\description{
Import a TXT-file (ASCII file) or a DAT-file (binary file) produced by a
Daybreak reader into R. The import of the DAT-files is limited to the file
format described for the software TLAPLLIC v.3.2 used for a Daybreak, model 1100.
}
\note{
\strong{\verb{[BETA VERSION]}}
This function still needs to be tested properly. In particular
the function has underwent only very rough tests using a few files.
