Hello!
I try to process an ASCII file, which includes data from a CSAT3 sonic anemometer and other instruments, with Edire software but it seems not working, not reading the data. The processing output is not correct.
I collect these data with a CR10X datalogger in an comma-separated ASCII format. Then I convert these data into a fielded data format.
Do you know if it is possible to process these data with Edire software? There is another software appropriate for this processing?
Thank you,
Christiana
Christian,
EdiRe is designed to work with binary files. Since you collected your data in ASCII from EdiRe does not know what to do with it.
It needs TOB1 binary form of the file. Did you collect time series data with CR10X (I doubt you did because of a very limited space on the logger's memory)?
If you somehow did collect TS data at 10 or 20Hz if you download your data in the binary TOB3 form you can convert it using CardConvert which is incorporated into the Loggernet and then you can use EdiRe.
If you however collected only 30 min averaged data EdiRe will not be of any help.
Best!
One more thing. There are quite a few post processing software packages out there that we know of but we do not support them and some of them we never used.
Here they are:
EdiRe (no cost; Rob Clement, University of Edinburgh);
TK2 (no cost; Matthias Mauder and Thomas Foken, University of Bayreuth);
ECPack (GNU Public License; Wageningen University);
EddySoft (fee; Olaf Kolle and Corinna Rebmann, Max-Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry);
Alteddy (fee; Jan Elbers, Alterra Institute in Wageningen).
Thank you for your reply.
Just to clarify that with CR10X we collected time series data at 1 Hz. The scheduled collection was enabled with a collection interval of 10 minutes in order to collect the stored data from CR10X to a laptop. For the output file format we choosed ASCII, comma separated and not binary.
Do you think that it is possible to process these data with Edire?
You need binary TOB1 form for EdiRe. ASCII will not work. We have application note on EdiRE. You can get it from here: http://www.campbellsci.com/documents/technical-papers/edire.pdf .

Mixed-array dataloggers, such as CR10X that we have, include the option to binary files. Data from table-data dataloggers are output as TOA5 files or TOB1 binary files.
I suppose that in case of CR10X it is not possible to process the data, ASCII or binary, with Edire. These binary files are not TOB1 ot TOB2 or TOB3.
It is possible to process these binary files came from a CR10X with Edire?
Thank you.

Hi,
Although this is an old thread i think i should let you know that Alteddy processing software has always been free of charge and can process both ASCII and binary data (including TOB1 files)
