CESL

CESL (CalCOFI Electronic Sample Log) is a Windows program for logging seawater samples taken from CalCOFI CTD-rosette casts. Using the Seabird-generated .mrk file, a sample log base file with GPS date time lat lon, from the CELogGPS CTDAtDepth event. The base sample log is automatically created by the CTDBackup program. A sample log may also be created and edited manually if these other programs are not installed. Once the electronic sample log is filled, a printed copy and digital version are created along with files for salt, O2, & chl analyses.

CESL can reload key-entered data after crash

Posted by on in CESL
During key-entry, whenever <Enter> is used to record O2 draw temperatures (not mouse-click), CESL saves that sample log depth records to a local (C:\CESL) 'insurance' file. If the form is not properly saved because of a hardware or operator error, previous key-entries can be recalled by pressing F3. Procedure - after restarting the tablet & CESL, reload the current station log, if not done automatically; configure the O2 case, Salt case, Nut rack color then press F3. Previously entered O2 draw temperatures, Prodo bottles, DIC bottle #s, and comments will be re-entered from the insurance file. Note: only depths with O2 draw temperatures will be re-entered. Any comments or DIC bottle #s pre-entered on deeper depths are not in the insurance file. Re-flagging specific bottle types, such as mistrips, extra bottles, or test cases, will also be necessary. This feature is designed to re-enter the O2 draw temperatures since they would have to be redone.

CESL feature added - regenerates ALL sta.csvs automatically

Posted by on in CESL
New menu entry & hotkey enabled - pressing Ctrl-F5 will prompt you to automatically reload all the sample logs (001-100; YYMM###sLog.csv) & regenerate the sta.csvs & casts.csv entries. This is useful for upgrading 82-col sta.csvs to 84-col sta.csvs or any other batch reprocessing of sta.csvs.
Update - moved this feature to the menu under Utils and made it Ctrl-F5 instead of F5, which may be too easy to press. Also added a confirmation step so you have to say "yes" to overwriting the old sta.csvs & casts.csv.

To regenerate a specific sta.csv or casts.csv entry, load the specific sta by typing in the Ord_Occ in the upper left field. The saved station log will load and once complete, press Ctrl-C to save the single sta.csv & update the casts.csv. Note: you will have to manually delete the original cast entry for that sta in the casts.csv or cut & paste the new entry over the old.
