4.3.3. Direct Access to ADCP data

The following mechanisms exist for directly accessing data (into a program)

• CODAS database can only be directly accessed with Python. For Matlab access, one must extract files to the disk, and then read the files.

• raw ADCP data can be accessed by both Matlab and Python.

data source	what you get
UHDAS *.raw	beam coords singleping, no navigation
UHDAS *.raw	earth coords singleping with navigation, with heading
VmDAS *.ENR	beam coords singleping no navigation, no heading
VmDAS *.ENS	beam coords singleping with navigation, no heading
VmDAS *.ENX	earth coords singleping with navigation, with heading
VmDAS *.STA, *.LTA	earth coords averaged
