  1.  NAME

  scan_sbe - Scan header files from SBE CTD data

  2.  USAGE

  scan_sbe file

  3.  DESCRIPTION

  This utility scans header files from data collected and processed with
  package SEASOFT for SeaBird CTD. It reports which files contain bad
  header data. These have to be edited and corrected. When scanning is
  error free, these data can be loaded into a CODAS database with
  load_sbe(1). See the manual page of this utility for more information
  about the allowed syntax of SBE header files.

  4.  PARAMETERS

  The only parameter to this utility is a file containing the list of
  header files to scan successively. These are the files with suffix
  hdr. However, it is also possible to give a list of other files, such
  as data or bottle, as scan_sbe can build the name of header files from
  the base name and path of listed files.

  5.  SEE ALSO
