Discussion: Increase verbosity of check messages when reading/writing dmap files

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Discussion

Topic: when a file is read in using read_rawacf (and others) the code does a few checks to check the integrity of the dmap files, however when the checks fail there is no reason given, we should return more verbose and if required give a reason as to why this file has failed. We could also maybe made a new 'check_rawacf' in which this is done so it doesn't effect the read time if you're not interested in the checks.

This is to find a solution following discussion at the DDWG working group who use pyDARNio to check the integrity of dmap files on the mirrors.
