A raw seabird hex + xml + bl to xarray/netCDF 4 and back again library
- hex + xmlcon + bl file to xarray (and by extension, netCDF4)
- xarray to hex + xmlcon + bl (byte for byte reproduction is something we should test for)
- include some way to take out bad scans/data lines, but put them back in for round tripping
- xarray "hex" to engineering variables, we might want to do this with an accesssor in the library for now since the conversion is so fast...
- tests (pytest)
- typing (mypy)
- documentation (sphinx)
- some description of the netCDF data structure...
Stretch goals:
- Making a btl file
- interpreting the modulo and the sample frequency to make actual timestamped time series variables
Note
The name isn't final, it was quickly made during the GP17-ANT cruise but not developed further on that trip. Since this will likely be the base of some ODF/CCDHO/R2R CTD processing, I wanted it off my laptop as the sole location. -Barna
