Bases: echopype.convert.convertbase.ConvertBase

Class for converting EK60 .raw files.

Methods Summary

copyfiles(out_file[, overwrite])	Creates a duplicate file so that parsed data can be split into multiple files Used for when the length of range changes over time
load_ek60_raw(raw)	Method to parse the EK60 .raw data file.
save(file_format[, save_path, combine_opt, …])	Save data from .raw format to a netCDF4 or Zarr file
split_by_range_group()	Split ping_time, power_dict, angle_dict, tx_sig by range_group.

Methods Documentation

copyfiles(out_file, overwrite=False)

Creates a duplicate file so that parsed data can be split into multiple files Used for when the length of range changes over time

load_ek60_raw(raw)

Method to parse the EK60 .raw data file.

This method parses the .raw file and saves the parsed data to the ConvertEK60 instance.

Parameters

rawstring

raw filename

save(file_format, save_path=None, combine_opt=False, overwrite=False, compress=True)

Save data from .raw format to a netCDF4 or Zarr file

Parameters

file_formatstr

format of output file. “.nc” for netCDF4 or “.zarr” for Zarr

save_pathstr

Path to save output to. Must be a directory if converting multiple files. Must be a filename if combining multiple files. If False, outputs in the same location as the input raw file.

combine_optbool

Whether or not to combine a list of input raw files. Raises error if combine_opt is true and there is only one file being converted.

overwritebool

Whether or not to overwrite the file if the output path already exists.

compressbool

Whether or not to compress backscatter data. Defaults to True

split_by_range_group()

Split ping_time, power_dict, angle_dict, tx_sig by range_group.

This is to deal with cases when there is a switch of range_bin size in the middle of the file.
