I am a first time user of beadarray and am having trouble simply reading in my data.
I have a directory containing 12 .csv files(four columns - Illumicode, N, Mean GRN, Dev GRN), 12 .txt files (two columns - Code, Grn), and 12 .tif files from an experiment using an Illumina Human-6 v2 BeadChip. I would like to read in any or all of the arrays, but cannot seem to do so. I have tried many different functions, but everything results in an error. I am using R 2.5.1 on Windows Vista.
Here is my code:

> BLData<-readBeadLevelData()
Error: could not find function "readBeadLevelData"
> BLData<-readIllumina(textType=".txt")
Found 12 arrays
Error in order(dat1$ProbeID) : object "dat1" not found
> BLD<-readBeadImages()
Error: could not find function "readBeadImages"
and R crashes every time I enter
BLData<-readIllumina(textType=".csv").
I have read as many papers as I can find about the documentation for this package, as well as the R Help for package beadarray, and cannot quite figure out what "targets" or "beadtargets" should be. I have tried creating a .txt file with a list of all the .csv and .tif files I want to read in, and "readBeadTargets" accepts that, but when I try readBeadLevelData(targets) it tells me it cannot find the function "readBeadLevelData".
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, and please let me know if I need to supply anymore information.
