Compile and format data from hobo pH sensors (MX2501)

Usage

ss_compile_hobo_ph_data(
  path,
  sn_table,
  deployment_dates,
  tz_check = FALSE,
  trim = TRUE
)

path: File path to the hobo_ph folder.
sn_table: A data frame with three columns: sensor_type, sensor_serial_number, depth.
deployment_dates: A data frame with two columns. The first column holds the deployment date (a Date object, POSIXct object, or character string in the order year, month, day), and the second column holds the retrieval date (a Date object, POSIXct object, or character string in the order year, month, day).
tz_check: Logical argument indicating whether to check if the timestamp column is in utc. If TRUE, a warning will be printed if the timezone is NOT utc.
trim: Logical value indicating whether to trim the data to the dates specified in deployment_dates. (Note: four hours are added to the retrieval date to account for AST, e.g., in case the sensor was retrieved after 20:00 AST, which is 00:00 UTC the next day.) Default is trim = TRUE.

Returns a tibble with the data compiled from each of the hobo or tidbit sensors.

Exported data must be saved in a folder named hobo_ph in csv format.

All of the csv files in the hobo_p h folder will be compiled.

The timestamp columns must be in the order "ymd IMS p", "Ymd IMS p", "Ymd HM", "Ymd HMS", "dmY HM", or "dmY HMS".
