\title{Check raw data from range of plates or experiments}
\description{
  Report control data from a specified range of microtiter plates or
  experiments from a specified database.
}
\usage{
  checkcontrols(last = 10, id = NULL, db = "cytotox", organism = "Vibrio fischeri", 
                endpoint = "\%", qcc = c("R", "xbar"))
}
\arguments{
  \item{last}{
    If \code{id} is not specified, this argument specifies the number of
    plates/experiments that should be evaluated. The plates/experiments with
    the hightest numbers are selected.
  }
  \item{id}{
    A numeric vector of integers, specifying the plates or experiments explicitly.
  }
  \item{db}{
    The database to be used. Currently, the microtiter plate databases
    "cytotox", "enzymes" of the UFT Department of Bioorganic Chemistry are
    supported, as well as the database of ecotoxicity experiments "ecotox".}
  \item{organism}{
    The organism that was exposed to the chemical. Only important if the database
    "ecotox" is used. Defaults to "Vibrio fischeri".}
  \item{endpoint}{
    The endpoint that should be used for selecting the data. Only important if
    the database "ecotox" is used. Defaults to "\%".}
  \item{qcc}{
    The type of quality control charts to be plotted. By default, an R chart 
    (showing ranges of control values within plates/experiments), and an 
    xbar chart (showing means) are generated. 
  }
}
\value{
  The function lists a report and shows two graphs.
