Detailed Description

A class for reading ASCII files containing a time series of calibration data.

CalFile supports reading files like the following:

Records are assumed to be time-ordered.

 # example cal file
 # dateFormat = "%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S"
 # timeZone = "US/Mountain"
 #
 2006 Sep 23 00:00:00    0.0 1.0
 # Offset of 1.0 after Sep 29 01:13:00
 2006 Sep 29 01:13:00    1.0 1.0
 # use calibrations for ACME sensor SN#99 after Oct 1
 2006 Oct 01 00:00:00    include "acme_sn99.dat"

As shown, comment lines begin with a '#'. There are two special comment lines, of the form 'dateFormat="blahblah"' and 'timeZone="blahblah". These specify the format of time in the calibration file. The dateFormat should contain date and time format descriptors as supported by the UNIX strftime function or as supported by the java.text.SimpleDateFormat class. Typically the dateFormat comment is found once in the file, before any data records.

If the dateFormat comment is not found in a file, and the dateTimeFormat attribute is not set on the instance of CalFile, then times must be in a format supported by nidas::util::UTime::parse.

field	example	UNIX	java
year	2006	%Y	YYYY
month abrev	Sep	%b	MMM
numeric month	9	%m	MM
day of month	14	%d	dd
day of year (1-366)	257	%j	DDD
hour in day (00-23)	13	%H	HH
minute(00-59)	24	%M	mm
second(00-59)	47	%S	ss
millisecond(000-999)	447	%3f<br>(UTime extension)	SSS

Following the time fields in each record should be either numeric values or an "include" directive.

The numeric values should be space or tab separated values compatible with the usual floating point syntax, or the strings "na" or "nan" in either upper or lower case, representing not-a-number, or NaN. Since math operations using NaN result in a NaN, a calibration record containing a NaN value is a way to generate output values of NaN, indicating non-recoverable data.

An "include" directive causes another calibration file to be opened for input. The included file will be sequentially searched to set the input position to the last record with a time less than or equal to the time value of the "include directive. What this means is that the next readCF() will return data from the included file which is valid for the time of the include directive. An included file can also contain "include" directives. The include directive is useful when sensors are swapped during a data acquisition period. One can keep the sensor specific calibrations in separate files, and then create a CalFile which includes the sensor calibrations for the periods that a sensor was deployed. Example: <pre> # initially krypton hygrometer 1101 at this site 2006 Sep 23 00:00:00 include "krypton1101" # Replaced 1101 with 1393 on Oct 3. 2006 Oct 3 01:13:00 include "krypton1393" </pre> A typical usage of a CalFile is as follows: <pre> CalFile calfile; calfile.setFile("acme_sn1.dat") calfile.setPath("$ROOT/projects/$PROJECT/cal_files:$ROOT/cal_files");

... while (tsample > calfile.nextTime()) { try { dsm_time_t calTime; float caldata[5]; int n = calfile.readCF(calTime, caldata, 5); for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) coefs[i] = caldata[i]; } catch(const nidas::util::IOException& e) { log(e.what); break; } catch(const nidas::util::ParseException& e) { log(e.what); break; } } // use coefs[] to calibrate sample.

Return the time and fields of the current record, the one last read with readCF().

If there is no current record, then the return vector will be empty and the time will be UTime::MIN. If an include file is being read, then this returns the current fields of the included file.

◆ getFields()

int CalFile::getFields	(	int	begin,
		int	end,
		float *	data,
		const std::vector< std::string > *	fields = 0 )

Parse a range of columns from the fields vector as numbers and store them in the array data.

begin is the index of the first field to parse, and end is one greater than the index of the last field to parse. The first field is index 0. If there are fewer fields than numbers, the remaining numbers are filled with nan. So the data array must point to memory for at least (end - begin) numbers. The return value is the number of fields that were parsed, so it may be less than the number of data values filled in.

Like getField(), throws nidas::util::ParseException if a field cannot be converted to a number.

If fields is null, then use the same fields as getCurrentFields() would return.

◆ getFloatField()

float CalFile::getFloatField	(	int	column,
		const std::vector< std::string > *	fields = 0 )

Convert the field at index column in the fields vector to a number, and return the number.

Throws nidas::util::ParseException if the field cannot be converted to a number, and the message indicates which column caused the error. Column is a 0-based index into fields. If fields is null, then use the same fields as getCurrentFields() would return.

◆ readCF()

int CalFile::readCF	(	nidas::util::UTime &	time,
		float *	data,
		int	ndata,
		std::vector< std::string > *	fields = 0 )

Read the time and data from the current record, and return the number of values read.

The return value may be less than ndata, in which case values in data after n will be filled with NANs. As part of this call, the next time in the file is also read, and its result is available with nextTime(). This method uses a mutex so that multi-threaded calls should not result in crashes or unparseable data. However two threads reading the same CalFile will "steal" each other's data, meaning each thread won't read a full copy of the CalFile.

If fields is not null, then it points to a string vector to which all the fields in the calfile record will be assigned. So all the numeric fields parsed and stored in data will also be included in fields, followed by any fields past the last parsed numeric field.

For example, given this calfile line:

2016 may 1 00:00:00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 16.70 0.0 1.0 flipped

Then 9 strings will be added to fields: "0.00", ..., "1.0", "flipped", but the returned value will still be 8, same as if fields had been null. If a caller only wants string fields, then it can retrieve them like so:

std::vector<std::string> fields;

readCF(time, 0, 0, &fields);

nidas::core::CalFile::readCF

int readCF(nidas::util::UTime &time, float *data, int ndata, std::vector< std::string > *fields=0)

Read the time and data from the current record, and return the number of values read.

Definition CalFile.cc:434

nidas::core::getSample

Sample * getSample(sampleType type, unsigned int len)

A convienence method for getting a sample of an enumerated type from a pool.

Definition Sample.cc:70

Cal files can have non-numeric columns interspersed with the numeric columns, in which case all the columns can be read into the fields vector, and then individual fields can be converted to numbers using getField() and getFields().

After successfully reading a record with readCF(), the fields of the current record are also stashed in this CalFile and can be retrieved with getCurrentFields(). The fields are not valid except after calling readCF().
