1 """ Sample script to convert licel files to SCC netcdf format.
2
3 The script assumes the following things:
4
5 1. You have already installed the atmospheric_lidar module (e.g. using pip).
6 2. You have create a class in a file "ipral" describing your system (described the readme file).
7 If you want to use it for a different system you need to change the script to use your own class
8
9 Run the script using: python convert_ipral.py <your options>
10
11 Examples
12 --------
13 # This will read all files starting with "l" from "my_dir".
14 # It will guess the measurement ID based on the date of the files, and will assume measurement number 00.
15 # For example, the new measurment id could be 20120101mb00
16 python convert_ipral.py my_dir l*.
17
18 # This will use the measurement id you defined.
19 python convert_ipral.py my_dir l*. -m 20120204mb32 # It will create the file 20120204mb32.nc
20
21 Help string
22 -----------
23 # To get this, run: python convert_ipral.py -h
24 usage: convert_ipral.py [-h] [-m MEASUREMENT_ID] [-n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER]
25 [directory] [searchstring]
26
27 positional arguments:
28 directory Directory with licel files.
29 searchstring Processing system id.
30
31 optional arguments:
32 -h, --help show this help message and exit
33 -m MEASUREMENT_ID, --measurement_id MEASUREMENT_ID
34 The new measurement id
35 -n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER, --measurement_number MEASUREMENT_NUMBER
36 The measurement number for the date, if no id is
37 provided
