Processing DMT Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP) data from SEA M300 file

process_raw (Level 1)

Purpose

Extracts the diagnostic data and raw channel counts from the SEA M300 data acquisition system file (*.sea). The process_raw script creates the *.counts.cdp.raw file. If particle-by-particle (pbp) data are available, extract pbp data and save them to the *.adc.cdp.raw file.

Subroutines

The process_raw script calls the IDL subroutines:

• process_WMI.pro
• cdp.pro (called by process_WMI.pro)
• create_cdp_header.pro (called by cdp.pro)
• create_cdp_pbp_header.pro (called by cdp.pro)

Required Input Files

*.sea

Output Files

Among many other files, it generates:

• *.counts.cdp.raw

Syntax

process_raw <-d> <-v> <-vm> input_file

Example Syntax

process_raw ${CoPAS_DIR}/ADTAE/TestData/FlightData/20140429_152103/PostProcessing/14_04_29_15_21_03.sea

cdp_counts2conc (Level 3)

Purpose

Calculates

Required Input Files

*.seriald1.wcm.raw or *.wcm_comb.raw

Optional Input Files'

*.CIP_V.conc.1Hz

*.conc.cdp.1Hz

Output files

*.correct.wcm.raw

Syntax

[python3] wcm2correct.py [verbose=0|1] [cip_conc_file] [cdp_conc_file] wcm_file

Examples

wcm2correct.py verbose=1 19_08_23_07_12_37.wcm_comb.raw
 
wcm2correct.py 18_07_05_02_34_31.conc.cdp.1Hz 18_07_05_02_34_31.seriald1.wcm.raw
   
wcm2correct.py verbose=1 19_08_23_07_14_13.cip_PADS.raw 19_08_23_07_14_13.cdp_PADS.raw 19_08_23_07_12_37.seriald1.wcm.raw

Level 4 Processing

(mergefield - merge in TAS data from *.basic.* file into *.adc.cip.* file to create *.adc_tas.cdp.raw) adc2vol.py - takes in the *.adc_tas.cdp.raw file and makes the adc_vol.cdp.raw file
