There is no "datasheet" but the R objects defined and saved in the last 
session will automatically be loaded into the workspace from the .Rdata 
file when a new session begins. It is also possible to save named .Rdata 
files and reload them under user control. If you look at an .Rdata file 
with a text editor, it is pretty much meaningless. On the other hand, if 
you look at .Rhistory, you will see a text file that is simply a 
sequential listing of the commands of earlier saved sessions.

You need to investigate time series analyses methods. I am assuming that 
the radon levels are ordered and associated with times, rather than 
mathematically divided by them. There are extensive capabilities for 
analyzing and displaying such information in R.

See for instance:
