1.5. Test the CODAS Python Installation

Here are some somple tests to see whether the everything in the CODAS Python installation is working correctly.

1. Start a Terminal window

2. go to the UH programs directory, eg for Linux or OSX:

   cd ~/adcpcode/programs/codas_demos
   

3. Verify that you have adcp_pyproc and uhdas_data directories:

   ls
   

4. go to the postprocessing demo, into the directory for the os38nb processing:

   cd uhdas_data/km1001c/proc/os38nb
   

5. Verify that the codas3 binaries are found.

   Specifically, look at the UHDAS post-processing database with showdb. Run this command:

   showdb adcpdb/a_km
   

   It should come back with a menu like this:

   DBOPEN DATABASE NAME = adcp_pyproc/km1001c_postproc/os38nb/adcpdb/a_km
   
   BLK:     0   OPEN: 1    PRF:     0   OPEN: 1    IER:      0
   
   1 - Show BLK DIR HDR          10 - SRCH TIME
   2 - Show BLK DIR              11 - SRCH BLK/PRF
   3 - Show BLK DIR ENTRY        12 - MOVE
   4 - Show BLK HDR              13 - GET TIME
   5 - Show PRF DIR              14 - GET POS
   6 - Show PRF DIR ENTRY        15 - GET DEPTH RANGE
   7 - Show DATA LIST            16 - GET DATA
   8 - Show DATA DIR             17 - Show Data Present
   9 - Show STRUCT DEFN          18 - SHOW BLK FTR
                       99 - QUIT
   

   Type 99 to quit

6. Look at the figures in that directory: Use the arrow keys to select ‘previous’ or ‘next’ figure:

   figview.py --type png
   

7. Look at the data with the viewer: To quit, close the control window:

   dataviewer.py
