Welcome to the documentation of the CTD-Client!¶
CTD-Client¶
A simple tool that supports the measurement of CTD-data. In this first version, it is mainly a rewrite of Toralfs excellent CTD-Client, that should directly replace it. With a very similar look and feel, switching to this Client should be easy. With subsequent releases, this tool will grow into a way more sophisticated peace of software. Planned features and a rough timeline are given below. For now, the key features are:
fetches DSHIP information and writes them to a designated metadata header
starts Seasave.exe with the correct command line arguments
allows for bottle closing time configuration by the user and the correct internal data processing of this information
supports Near-Real-Time distribution of CTD data via email
saves relevant usage data for continuous operation
For a more detailed description check out the online documentation.
