23 |
|
24 1. Read the information in the script header. |
|
25 |
22 1. Create a file describing your system settings and parameters. You can find an example file in the "system_settings" |
26 1. Create a file describing your system settings and parameters. You can find an example file in the "system_settings" |
23 folder. Give a descriptive name and save it in the "system_settings" folder. |
27 folder. Give a descriptive name and save it in the "system_settings" folder. |
24 |
28 |
25 2. Open the "lidar_correction_ghk.py" file, and set the variable InputFile to the filename you chose in step 1. |
29 2. Edit the "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" or the current script file with an ASCII editor and set the variable InputFile below line 281 to the filename you chose in step 1. |
26 |
30 |
27 3. Run "python lidar_correction_ghk.py" |
31 3. Run the script "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" (or the current version). |
28 |
32 |
|
33 Note: _0.9.8e5 in the script filename is the script version and _Py3.7 indicates that it is tested with Python 3.7. |
