Description:

rawdatx 0.1

rawdatx is a Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 converter that generates Excel xlsx files
from TOA5 comma-separated text files produced by Campbell Scientific LoggerNet.
Sensor input, processing instructions, and output structure are specified
in a single XML Definition File that also serves as documentation.
rawdatx is available under the MIT license.
The code of the project is hosted at https://github.com/cpetrich/rawdatx
and packages are available on PyPI at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rawdatx/.
Documentation is available at https://rawdatx.readthedocs.org/.

Installation
The following prerequisites need to be installed:

Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5
numpy 1.9 or higher
xlsxwriter

optionally (recommended):

lxml
asteval

The easiest way to install rawdatx is through pip:
pip install rawdatx
Alternatively, download the latest version from the repository
https://github.com/cpetrich/rawdatx and install with
python setup.py install.

Usage
To convert a TOA5 file to XLSX, run the following script:
import rawdatx.read_TOA5 as read_raw_data
import rawdatx.process_XML as process_XML

config = './config.cfg'
read_raw_data.main(config)
process_XML.main(config)
Input and output files are specified in an UTF-8 encoded
configuration file config.cfg:
[RawData]
raw_data_path = ./raw-data/
mask = CR1000_*.dat
logger_time_zone = UTC+1

[Metadata]
Project = My project name

[Files]
xml_map_path = ./
xml_map = data_map.xml
data_path = ./
processed_data_xlsx = processed_data.xlsx
xml_dtd_out = data_map.dtd
raw_data = consolidated_raw_data.npy
processed_data_npy = processed_data.npy
The [RawData] section specifies the location of the logger input files,
the [Metadata] section defines metadata entries copied into the
XLSX file, and the [Files] section specifies path and file names of
output and intermediate files (data_path) and input
XML Definition File (xml_map_path and xml_map).
The XML Definition File (data_map.xml) may look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<measurements from="2015/05/03 11:45">
<group name="Logger">
<map name="Battery Voltage" unit="V" src="Batt_V" />
<map name="Internal Temperature" unit="°C" src="T_panel" />
</group>
<group name="Weather">
<map name="Air Temperature" unit="°C" src="T_air" />
<map name="Relative Humidity" unit="%" src="RH" />
<map name="Wind Speed" unit="m/s" src="Wind_speed" />
<map name="Wind Direction" unit="°" src="Wind_direction" />
</group>
</measurements>
