Usage

getEchoFeatures(

  dbDriverChar,
  listOfRfFeaturesToExtract,
  echoIDRange = NULL
)

Arguments

dbConnection

A valid database connection.

dbDriverChar

This was the name of the driver, and is now automatically detected, therefore it should be omitted into the future.

listOfRfFeaturesToExtract

Either NULL (i.e., don't extract any of the rf features), "all" (i.e., extract all rf features) or a vector of the feature numbers to extract. Default is NULL. Feature IDs can be found in the 'rfFeatures' table in the sql database.
