Legacy Data Report or Contouring How-to
Generating a Data Report from an old ieh (eg 8203) 2014
1). Convert a terpled ieh from Unix to DOS using Ultraedit File/conversions
2). DECODR's contouring module can use the terpled ieh to create map csvs - [ IEH > csv]
3). Run Horizontals module and pick IEH from the Input Data selection box (right side). NOTE: there needs to be a "MAPS" subdir under the Q:\CODES\1982\8203\ main dir. I configured DECODR for 8203 just to make it easier to run/rerun the modules.
4). Pick your Blank File - 8203 is only lines 93 & 90 so pick that blanking file
5). Uncheck any data type that is not in the IEH - 8203 did not have Chlorophyll or Nitrate
6). If Surfer generates misdrawn maps, load the contour and post files into a good version of map manually, replacing the grid file under Properties then save as under a new filename.
Once the t.ieh was converted from Unix to Dos I was also able to run Addthox2 & DareH.exe on it under Virtual XP. 8203t.ieh did not have sigma-theta or O2 sat in the ieh. 8203ta.ieh is the addthox2'd version of 8203t.ieh; 8203TAA.RPT is the DareH.exe version of the Data Report with interpolated nutrients (PO4 & Sil only for 8203; only 125m depth values were interpolated).
