Read and Process 'FPOD' and 'CPOD' Data // Read 'FPOD' and 'CPOD' data into 'R' directly from the 'FPOD' data files (i.e. .CP1, .CP3, .FP1 and .FP3 files). The 'FPOD' data files contain binary data, so they can't trivially be read into 'R' using the usual approach, e.g. fread() or read.csv(). This package decodes the binary data and imports all the data in one go (i.e. header/metadata, clicks, 'KERNO' classifications, environmental data and pseudo-WAV data). It is then trivial to aggregate data as you please, e.g. detection-positive-minutes per time block. The advantage of handling data processing in 'R' is a long topic, but suffice it to say that it 1) simplifies things (many fewer steps, as different vars have to be exported in multiple goes in the official 'FPOD' app), and more importantly, 2) makes data processing transparent and reproducible.
