.. _python_ladcp_timeseries: Plot Scalar Timeseries data, generate log file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After acquiring the LADCP data, make a diagnostics plot and a record of cast depth (first look) to see if there are any problems. For the LADCP demo, this would be:: From the CRUISE/data/ladcp directory, ## save the figures to the web site. ## this is a link to CRUISE/web/qc_plots outdir=/home/science/web/qc_plots (1) quick look ladcp_rawplot.py --save --out $outdir --plot scalars --show wh010_01.dat (2) more plots; do not show, but save all ladcp_rawplot.py --save --out $outdir wh010_01.dat The most important questions are: - did the LADCP return data for the whole cast? - are all beams functioning? .. =============== .. |complete_timeseries| image:: complete_timeseries.png :alt: example of a complete LADCP timeseries .. _complete_timeseries: complete_timeseries.png .. =============== .. |partialtimeseries| image:: partialtimeseries.png :alt: example of a bad LADCP timeseries .. _partialtimeseries: partialtimeseries.png .. =============== Example of a full profile:: |complete_timeseries|_ Example of a partial profile:: |partial_timeseries|_
