Minor update in readme.

victor@7 1 Overview
ioannis@0 2 =================
ioannis@0 3
victor@7 4 This package provides a script which permits interacting with the
victor@7 5 Single Calculus Chain through the command line. Specifically, with the script you can:
ioannis@0 6
ioannis@0 7 * Upload a file to the SCC for processing
ioannis@0 8 * Download the processed files and graphs
ioannis@0 9 * Delete an existing measurement from the SCC (with appropriate privileges)
ioannis@0 10
ioannis@0 11 The main functions are implemented in a class (SCC) that you can also import
ioannis@0 12 and use in your custom scripts.
ioannis@0 13
ioannis@0 14 The script does not provide any feedback if a file upload fails. Before using
ioannis@0 15 the script, you will need to upload some files manually and be confident that
ioannis@0 16 your SCC file format and processing settings are correct.
ioannis@0 17
i@12 18 Please note that this is not part of the "official" SCC tools.
ioannis@0 19
ioannis@0 20 Any suggestions for improvements and new features are more than welcome.

ioannis@0 23 Installation
ioannis@0 24 ------------
ioannis@0 25
victor@9 26 The easiest way to install this module is from the python package index using pip::
victor@8 27
victor@8 28 pip install scc_access
ioannis@0 29
ioannis@0 30 See http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/ for more details.
ioannis@0 31
victor@7 32 You can also use the script by cloning this mercurial repository. Alternatively, you
victor@7 33 can just copy the scc_access.py and and settings.sample.py files to a local
ioannis@1 34 directory.
ioannis@1 35
ioannis@0 36
ioannis@0 37 Settings
ioannis@0 38 --------
ioannis@0 39 You will need to change some user-defined settings in a settings.py file. You
ioannis@0 40 can rename the settings.sample.py file to settings.py and follow the instructions
ioannis@0 41 there.
ioannis@0 42
ioannis@0 43 Specifically, you will need to:
ioannis@0 44
ioannis@0 45 1. Change the BASIC_LOGIN and DJANGO_LOGIN to your credentials.
ioannis@0 46 2. Change the OUTPUT_DIR to the location were the results will be stored.
ioannis@0 47
ioannis@0 48 Please not that it's not a good idea to store your own credentials in the settings
ioannis@0 49 file. The standard user has "Station Management" privileges and if the credentials
ioannis@0 50 are stolen, someone could change/delete the stations settings from the SCC database.
ioannis@0 51 For this, it is better to use a used account with minimum access settings, that
ioannis@0 52 can only upload files and measurements.
ioannis@0 53
ioannis@0 54
ioannis@0 55 Usage
ioannis@0 56 -----
ioannis@0 57
ioannis@0 58 You can upload a file specifying the username and the system id::
victor@8 59
victor@8 60 scc_access 20110101po01.nc 125
ioannis@0 61
ioannis@0 62 If you want to wait for the processing to finish and download the resulting files
ioannis@0 63 you need to define the -p flag::
victor@8 64
victor@9 65 scc_access 20110101po01.nc 125 -p
ioannis@0 66
ioannis@0 67 If you want to delete an existing measurement id from the database use the -d flag and
ioannis@0 68 the measurement id::
victor@8 69
victor@9 70 scc_access -d 20110101po01
ioannis@0 71
ioannis@0 72 For more information on the syntax type::
victor@8 73
victor@9 74 scc_access -h
