[R] Help with the ts function

[Nelson, Gary (FWE)]

I have a time series of temperature data recorded every 2 hours and I
would like to generate a spectrogram using the spectrum function that
examines cycles per day.  My statement for coding the series using the
ts function is

bevtemp<-ts(bevtemp,deltat=0.0833334) 

where 0.0833334 is 2 hours/24 hours.

I am wondering if this is the correct way to code the data?


Thanks for your help.

Gary Nelson.
