Temperature Logger R Workshop
August 2021
The Temperature Logger R Workshop provides a walkthrough of two applications run using R language that may be useful for groups who collect temperature logger data. No previous experience using R or coding is necessary.
Click below for resources on installing R and getting started with the apps. Getting Started and Installing R
The two applications include:
Temperature Logger to DataStream Upload
This app takes temperature logger data and efficiently converts it directly into a CSV file that can be uploaded to DataStream.

- Download the program here: Temperature Logger to DataStream Upload R Application
Temperature Logger Analysis
This app looks through temperature logger network data to identify temperature events that may be dangerous to aquatic life, as well as to get a general picture of the temperature distribution in a temperature logger network. The analysis is presented in graphs, maps, and tables.
