-   # Function description: for recorded amperometric i-T curves
-   # CH Instruments potentiostat records all data using standard SI units,
-   # so all potential values are in volts, currents are in amperes,
-   # charges in Coulombs, time in seconds, etc.
+   ## Description:
+   ##   Reads potential-time data (from CHI 760 potentiostat)
+   ##   and returns a dataframe with the data and 
+   ##   the data attributes (experimental conditions).
+   ## Usage:
+   ##   ocp2df(datafilename)
+   ## Arguments:
+   ##   datafilename: text string with full path to experimental file
+   ## Value:
+   ##   Dataframe with the following columns (and no extra attributes):
+   ##   $ sampleid        : chr
+   ##   $ time            : num
+   ##   $ current         : num
+   ##   $ currentdensity  : num
+   ##   $ timediff        : num
+   ##   $ dIdt            : num
+   ##   $ didt            : num
+   ##   $ charge          : num
+   ##   $ chargedensity   : num
+   ##   $ InitE           : num
+   ##   $ SampleInterval  : num
+   ##   $ RunTime         : num
+   ##   $ QuietTime       : num
+   ##   $ Sensitivity     : num
+   ## Note:
+   ##   The CH Instruments 760 potentiostat records all data 
+   ##   using standard SI units, therefore this function
+   ##   assumes all potential values to be in volts, 
+   ##   currents to be in amperes, charges in Coulombs, 
+   ##   time in seconds, and so on.
