att2ascii

Description

att2ascii reads multiple OMG-HDCS (Ocean Mapping Group - Hydrographic Data Cleaning System) attitude record files and outputs their contents as an ASCII listing. It supports time-bounding, subsampling, and can extract specific attitude components (heave, pitch, roll, heading) in a navigation format. It can also identify and output peak values for these components.

Usage

att2ascii [OPTIONS] -comp <output_filename> <att_filename(s)>.orientation

Arguments

Option Description Default / Example
-v Enable verbose output.  
-avsamps <samples> If used with -navout, writes out min and max heave (or other specified attitude components) within the given number of samples to the navigation file. 600
-navout Output data in navigation format.  
-start_sec <YYYY JJJ HH MM SS> Specify a start time for processing using Year, Julian Day, Hour, Minute, and Second. 1993 180 16 24 35
-end_sec <YYYY JJJ HH MM SS> Specify an end time for processing using Year, Julian Day, Hour, Minute, and Second. 1993 180 17 12 43
-timeboundsof <merged_filename> Use time bounds from an existing merged file to constrain processing. whatever.merged
-addGPSrolloverwraps <value> Adds a delay to account for GPS rollover wraps (e.g., 1 for one 1024-week cycle). 1
-skip <value> Skip attitude records, effectively subsampling the data. 10
-just_peaks Output only peak values (max/min) for heave, pitch, roll, and heading.  
-heavediff When used with -navout, outputs (mechanical pitch - heave) in navformat.  
-delayheave When used with -navout, outputs mechanical pitch in navformat.  
-realheave When used with -navout, outputs heave in navformat.  
-pitch When used with -navout, outputs pitch in navformat.  
-roll When used with -navout, outputs roll in navformat.  
-heading When used with -navout, outputs heading in navformat.  
-comp <output_filename> Required. Specifies the name of the output ASCII file. outfile.name
<att_filename(s)>.orientation Required. One or more input OMG-HDCS .orientation files to be processed. attfilename1.orientation attfilename2.orientation
