_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Computes the dynamic range per plate for a complete dataset file
     and plots the results.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     DRQualControl(header, data, nbLinesHeader, channel, plotTitle, showPlot)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  header: the header of a dataset file generated with
          'generateDatasetFile' 

    data: an R data frame generated with 'generateDatasetFile' 

nbLinesHeader: typically 3 

 channel: A character string specifying the name of the column
          containing the values for computing the dynamic range, e.g. '
          "SigIntensity"' 

plotTitle: the plot title 

showPlot: 0 or 1. 1 will open one or several plot windows in the R GUI,
          0 will only save the plot(s) without opening windows 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Returns the dynamic range for each plate in the shell and saves
     them in a text file. The name of the text file will be the
     concatenation of the experiment name specified in the header and
     the character string "DR.txt".

     Shows a plot of the dynamic range values and saves it as a pdf
     file under the experiment name specified in the header
     concatenated with the function argument ' plotTitle'.
