Dumping Waveform Parameters

This programs takes a merged file(s) and dumps out the desired parameter to a lat lon param ascii file. The user can dump the complete file(s), or portions of the file(s) limted by a scan_range, or only those waveforms the fall within an desired mapsheet. As default only water waveforms are dumped. When dumping bottom return parameters the user can also decide to dump the valid flagged wavefroms only (a function asses each wavefrom and asigns an invalid flag to it for too shallow wavefroms (merged surface and bottom return), undetecbale bottom return, deep water waveform etc etc). I change this program almost weekly so some options of these options may not be up to date and I have disabled a couple...

dumpWaveFormParams -pmt/gapd/ir/raman -out ascii_file the-merged.file(s)

Here are some of the options:
-scan_range

: dumps only between a given start and end scan number -valid_only

: dumps only valid flagged waveforms -area

: dumps only if in given mapsheet area (i.e. .r4 .8bit file) -lin_height

: dumps the bottom return height in linear space -height_only

: dumps the bottom return height (in log space, relative to the extrapolated atten curve) -width_only

: dumps the bottom return width -surface_only

: dumps the surface backscatter (I disabled all the other bottom return parameter options...)
-k_only

: dumps system attenuation coefficient (in DN/m) -returntype

: dumps the returntype (100 == Optech accepted sounding, 150 == "deep" waveform, 250 == "weak" waveform) -setback

: dumps the setback ratio -pim

: dumps only pim depths (i.e. detecable bottom return) -opaque

: dumps only opaque depths (i.e. from "weak" waveforms) -extinct

: dumps only extinction depths (i.e. from "deep" waveforms) -combo

processSHOALSdepths

-wave_height_only

: dumps wave height (if stored in the original file...)
