==process_raw==

'''Purpose'''

Extracts analog data from SEA M300 data system file (*.sea) and creates the *.analog.raw file.  Extracts Cloud Imaging Probes (CIP) housekeeping information from SEA M300 data system file(*.sea).

'''Required Input File'''

<nowiki>*.sea</nowiki>

'''Output File'''

<nowiki>*.analog.raw</nowiki>

<nowiki>*.housekeeping.cip.raw</nowiki>

''Example Syntax''
  process_raw $ADPAA_DIR/src/TestData/FlightData/20140429_152103/PostProcessing/14_04_29_15_21_03.sea

==analog2physical==

'''Purpose'''

To convert analog measurements from engineering units (voltages) to physical units (i.e. degree C).

'''Required Input File'''

<nowiki>*.analog.*</nowiki>

'''Output File'''

<nowiki>*.physical.raw</nowiki>

''Syntax''
  analog2physical <final> <csh_error> <hotwire_offset> <nohotwireslave> <physical> <ccn> <ballvario> <nevzorov> <TDLflow> input_file

''Optional parameters''

<final> causes the output data to be tagged Final instead of Preliminary. 

<csh_error> causes the error to be returned to the csh calling program. 

<nohotwireslave> causes the hot wire probe voltage not to be checked. 

<physical> generates a *.physical.raw file. 

<ccn> generates a *ccn.raw file. 

<ballvario> generates a *balvario.raw file. 

<nevzorov> generates a *.nevzorov file. 

<TDLflow> generates a *.TDLflow.raw file.

''Example Syntax''
  analog2physical $ADPAA_DIR/src/TestData/FlightData/20140429_152103/PostProcessing/14_04_29_15_21_03.analog.raw
  
The *.analog.raw file is generated from process_raw.

==winds_file==
'''Purpose'''

Creates a "*winds.raw" file by compiling and running the winds_file idl routines

'''Required Input Files'''

<nowiki>*.physical.raw</nowiki> and <nowiki>*.applanix.raw</nowiki>

The *.physical.raw file is generated by running the analog2physical script on the *.analog.raw file created by the process_raw script on an *.sea file. 
The *applanix.raw file is generated by running the process_raw script on an *.sea file. 

'''Output File'''

<nowiki>*.winds.raw*</nowiki>

'''Syntax'''
  winds_file <final> <csh_error> physical_file applanix_file

''Optional Parameters''

<final> causes the output data to be tagged Final instead of Preliminary.

<csh_error> causes the error to be returned to the csh calling program instead of occurring in the IDL code.

''Example Syntax''
  winds_file 14_04_29_15_21_03.physical.raw 14_04_29_15_21_03.applanix.raw
