swfscDAS
This package contains functions designed for processing and analyzing
shipboard DAS data generated using the WinCruz program from the
Southwest Fisheries Science Center. It is intended to standardize and
streamline basic DAS data processing. Functionality currently includes
reading DAS data into a data frame, processing this data (extracting
state and condition information for each DAS event), and summarizing
sighting, effort, and comment information. Learn more in

Installation
You can install the released version of swfscDAS from CRAN with:
install.packages("swfscDAS")You can install the developmental version of swfscDAS from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("smwoodman/swfscDAS")Before installing swfscDAS, you must have R, RStudio, and the appropriate version of Rtools installed. When istalling the developmental version, it is best practice to install after closing all instances of R and RStudio, and then running the install code from the R GUI rather than RStudio. Please contact the developer if you have any issues.
DAS data format
swfscDAS expects data to follow the conventions and format used by the
WinCruz program. You can download a PDF
here
describing the DAS data format requirements. See das_format_pdf for
instructions on how to access the local copy of the format PDF that is
included in the package.
