Strange coordinate format in logger file for CEN2

Closed this issue · 2 comments

The logger file 'CEN_2024_DataTanle60min.dat' has the following format for GPS data:

"Gtime","Glat","Glon","Altitude"
"L16001000","L771091802","L0610693836",1898

which is currently not properly handled by pypromice.

Both the transmission file and the 10min data files have the proper format:

"TimeGPS","Latitude","Longitude","Altitude"
"210004.00","7710.91812","06106.94157",1891

A related question is why both 10 minute and 60 minute tables are added to the config files? It is also the case at NEM

For NEM, I think there are both 10min and 60min data files because there were periods where only 60min data was recorded (maybe due to low battery?)

This is odd about the 60min GPS data format though. I think we need to check in the logger file if the GPS data formatting differs for 60min data, or whether it is some how corrupted/erroneous.
