+""" Sample script to convert licel files to SCC netcdf format.
+
+The script assumes the following things:
+
+1. You have already installed the atmospheric_lidar module (e.g. using pip).
+2. You have create a class in a file "ipral" describing your system (described the readme file).
+   If you want to use it for a different system you need to change the script to use your own class
+
+Run the script using: python convert_ipral.py <your options>
+
+Examples
+--------
+# This will read all files starting with "l" from "my_dir".
+# It will guess the measurement ID based on the date of the files, and will assume measurement number 00.
+# For example, the new measurment id could be 20120101mb00
+python convert_ipral.py my_dir l*.
+
+# This will use the measurement id you defined.
+python convert_ipral.py my_dir l*. -m 20120204mb32  # It will create the file 20120204mb32.nc
+
+Help string
+-----------
+# To get this, run: python convert_ipral.py -h
+usage: convert_ipral.py [-h] [-m MEASUREMENT_ID] [-n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER]
+                        [directory] [searchstring]
+
+positional arguments:
+  directory             Directory with licel files.
+  searchstring          Processing system id.
+
+optional arguments:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  -m MEASUREMENT_ID, --measurement_id MEASUREMENT_ID
+                        The new measurement id
+  -n MEASUREMENT_NUMBER, --measurement_number MEASUREMENT_NUMBER
+                        The measurement number for the date, if no id is
+                        provided
