9. Batch Processing Multiple Raw Data Files
Data that has been downloaded from the datalogger is in a raw binary file (.RBN extension).
It must be processed into particle size by the LISST-SOP program. If you have multiple raw
data files to process (e.g. from a series of profiling deployments), follow these processing
steps that allows you to process all files in one operation.
• Start the LISST-SOP200X program
• Select Settings from the File menu and click on the
Output Tab. The window below will appear prompting
for the desired output to use for the future data
processing. This selection must be made BEFORE
starting the processing command.
• NOTE: A binary PBN file is always created when
processing raw data. This is used to display the
processed data to the screen.
• The CSV file is a space delimited ASCII file containing
all the processed data.
• The RTX file is a space delimited ASCII file containing
the raw data from the LISST-200X data logger.
Select file types to be
created.
• You must also select the inversion model to be used
with the real time data processing: Spherical,
randomly shaped or both.
Select inversion
method(s) to be used –
spherical, randomly
shaped or both..
• For a description of the two particle models, see
Appendix G: Spherical and Random Shape Particle
Models.
