Getting and compiling UHDAS+CODAS software

This is the way of the future. This will provide you with a recent tested CODAS installation that works with most datasets produced by UHDAS, VmDAS, or DAS2.48 for the following RDI ADCPs:

  • OS150, OS75, OS38
  • NB150
  • WH300
  • BB75

Bug fixes and improvements will make their way into the the Mercurial distribution after testing, and can be updated by following the mercurial codas upgrade instructions

Our source code and most documentation are now in Mercurial repositories to allow version control, documentation of changes, and access over the web There are a still a few zip files to download to complete the CODAS suite. Using Mercurial facilitates updates, but you will need to compile the code yourself. This can be done easily on all the common operating systems–Linux, Windows, and OSX–but is easiest on Linux. (instructions below)

Instructions:

  1. Install Python 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6 (NOT 3.xx)
  2. Install Matlab (up through R2007b); we have not tried R2008
  3. Download CODAS programs
  4. Get supporting tools and compile (compiler and build tool)
  5. Set up your paths:
  6. optional: install additional python functionality (codas python extension code, numpy+matplotlib)
