Class HRBinaryConverter

java.lang.Object
  org.mbari.hobilabs.HRBinaryConverter

public class HRBinaryConverter

extends java.lang.Object

Useful class for converting binary hydrorad data files to ascii. This class requires that complete Hydrorad messages are in the data. This includes the instrument id,serial number, and channel information. If you need to parse a data file that doesn't contain complete messages, ony data, then use HRParser. HRParser is the engine used by HRBinaryDecoder to decode the data.

The output from this is essentially the same as HRCAL.EXE from hobilabs. The main differences are C-style comments (lines that begin with '#') and tab- delimited rather than comma delimited data.

Use this class as:

HRBinaryConverter hbd = new HRBinaryConverter( ... );
hbd.decode();

or call the main method.
