                  == Ocean surveyor LTA or STA files ======

    (for example, no frills)

    To process LTA averaged data with 300-second ensembles,
    (1) run
              adcptree.py vg0404 --datatype lta

    (2) change directories to vg0301/ping and link or copy the LTA files here
    (3) then "cd .." to get back to  the cruise directory.
    (4a) Now:  (for example)

       quick_adcp.py --cntfile q_py.cnt

    ### q_py.cnt is
    --yearbase 2004                 ## for decimal day conversion
    --dbname a0404                  # database name; in adcpdb
               # --use_refsm  ## this is the default.  no need to specify
                              ##    (could use "--use_smoothr" to override)
    --instclass os                  ## instrument type
    --datatype lta                  ## datafile type
    --datafile_glob *.LTA           ## filename extension
    ### end of q_py.cnt

    (4b) calibration(watertrack and bottom track)

    quick_adcp.py --cntfile  q_pyrot.cnt

    ### q_pyrot.cnt is:
    --yearbase 2004                     # for decimal day conversion
    --rotate_angle 1.2                  # phase correction
    --steps2rerun rotate:navsteps:calib # apply rotation
    --auto                              # be speedy (don't ask yes or no)
    ### end of q_pyrot.cnt

    quick_adcp.py --cntfile  q_pyedit.cnt

    ## q_pyedit.cnt is:
    --yearbase 2004                  # for decimal day conversion
                                    ## matfiles are automatically run the
                                    ##   first time.  must specify:
    --firstdepth 40                 ## - shallowest depth just for starters
    --instname os38                 ## - specifies defaults for matfiles  
    --steps2rerun apply_edit:navsteps:calib:matfiles  # do these steps
    --auto                          ## be speedy
    ### end of q_pyedit.cnt


 NOTE to Windows users:

         make sure your PYTHONPATH is set correctly
         make sure you associate *.py extensions with the python program
