Class HRParser

java.lang.Object
  org.mbari.hobilabs.HRParser

public class HRParser

extends java.lang.Object

HRParser is the main data parser engine for Decoders and Converters in the org.mbari.hobilabs.hr parckage. Most decoders in this package layer some functionality on top of HRParser but all user this parsing engine. HRParser is used to parse a binary stream of data from a Hobilabs hydrorad instrument. Data collected using MBARI's OASIS controller will be in ASCII hexadecimal format and will need to be converted back to binary (using AsciiHexInputStream)

A typical use of this class:
HRParser p = new HRParser( ... ) p.parseFile(); HRPacket[] data = p.get();
