\description{
Read the contents of an excel worksheet into a \code{idframe} object.
}
\details{
The \code{read.xlsx.idframe} function uses the \code{\link[xlsx]{read.xlsx2}} function, 
provided by the \pkg{xlsx} package, to read data from an excel file and then calls the 
\code{\link{read.idframe}} function to read the data into a idframe object

The function requires the java runtime to be installed on the system (Requirement of 
the \pkg{xlsx} package).
}
\examples{
library(xlsx)
dataMatrix <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(1000),ncol=5))
colnames(dataMatrix) <- c("u1","u2","y1","y2","y3")
write.xlsx2(dataMatrix,file="test.xlsx",row.names=FALSE)
 
data <- read.xls.idframe("test.xlsx","Sheet1",ninputs=2,unit="minutes")
