\title{Check raw data from a specified experiment or microtiter plate}
\description{
  Report metadata from a specified experiment or microtiter plate from a
  specified database, box plot controls, and plot the dose-response data.
}
\usage{
  checkplate(id, db = c("cytotox", "enzymes"))
  checkexperiment(id, db = c("ecotox", "cytotox", "enzymes"), endpoint = "\%", 
                  whereClause = "1")
}
\arguments{
  \item{id}{
    The id of the experiment or the plate identifying it within the database.}
  \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{endpoint}{
    The endpoint that should be used for selecting the data. Only important if
    the database "ecotox" is used. Defaults to "\%".}
  \item{whereClause}{
    With this argument, additional conditions for the SQL query can be set,
    e.g. "duration = 48" (i.e. "Only retrieve data with duration 48"). The
    default is 1 (in SQL syntax this means TRUE).}
}
\value{
  The function lists a report and shows two graphs.
}
\examples{
# Check plate number 3 in the cytotox database
\dontrun{checkplate(3)}

# Check data from experiment 1517 with duration 48 hours
\dontrun{checkexperiment(1517, whereClause = "duration = 48")}
