Reads data from TRDI ADCP work horse data loggers.

Contains methods to convert from PD15 to PD0. Once in PD0, the data can be parsed into a Python dictionary.

Sample Output

git clone git://github.com/USF-COT/trdi_adcp_readers.git
sudo python setup.py install

From the root directory run tests.py to test against a known PD0 and PD15 file

python tests.py

from trdi_adcp_readers.pd0.pd0_parser import parse_pd0_bytearray
pd0 = ''
with open(<path to PD0 file>, 'rb') as f:
    pd0 = f.read()
pd0_bytes = bytearray(pd0)
data = parse_pd0_bytearray(pd0_bytes)

from trdi_adcp_readers.pd15.pd0_converters import PD15_file_to_PD0
from trdi_adcp_readers.pd0.pd0_parser import parse_pd0_bytearray
pd0 = PD15_file_to_PD0('./140B97C6', header_lines=2)
data = parse_pd0_bytearray(pd0)

Note that this example uses the included file 140B97C6. This file is a test GOES file transmitted by an in-shore COMPS station. This station is located in a shallow area. Only data from the first few cells is valid. Transmissions from this station include a GOES header and an empty line before the PD15 data. The PD15 converter skips these first two lines using the argument header_lines=2.
