This control file works for Windows, Mac, and Linux users. Comments are C-style comments, enclosed as follows:
/* this is a comment */
Comments below describe what to change for a particular case. In the example below,
A CODAS database is made of a collection of files ending in “.blk”, including a file ending in “dir.blk”.
The dbname variable is the path (full or relative) specifying the name of the file ending in “dir.blk“, i.e. everything up to (but not incuding) the letters “dir.blk“
- Windows examples would be:
dbname: Q:cruiseprocos75nbadcpdba_mv
dbname: R:datamv0601procos75nbadcpdba_mv
- A Mac example would be
dbname: /Volumes/adcp_home/cruise/proc/os75nb/adcpdb/a_mv
dbname: /Volumes/data/mv0601/proc/os75nb/adcpdb/a_mv
The subdirectory following “proc” (below) is likely to be one of these: wh300, nb150, os75bb, os75nb, os38bb, os38nb
The “output:” variable is the prefix used in the output. The example below will result in “allbins_uv.mat” and “allbins_xy.mat” (matlab data description here
Adcpsect is documented under “CODAS Control Files” in this postscript document.
