odf.sbe 0.2.1

A tool for converting SeaBird .HEX data to engineering units

odf.sbe

A raw seabird hex + xml + bl to xarray/netCDF 4 and back again library

Goals

• 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
