There are four main functions currently in the package - brief descriptions of them are below, but users should use help() for details and examples

• ReadiButtonFolder() - which imports many files of iButton Data from a single folder, aligns the time to 1 minute, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours.
• ReadiButtonFile() - which imports a single file of iButton Data. The resulting dataset is a ZOO object;
• JoiniButtonDatasets() - which joins multiple sets of data created using the ReadiButtonFolder(); and
• temp.agg.daily() - which calculates various statistics (e.g., mean, variance, etc.) by day, for a dataset created using ReadiButtonFolder().

Update Notes

24 August 2016:

• Agument 'hdlen' added to ReadiButtonFile() and ReadiButtonFolder(), which allows user to set the length of the header from the data files (default is 14 lines, which works with iButton model DS1921G).
• Added more rounding options for ReadiButtonFolder().
