# Dorado Log Conversion Tool

## Information

**AUTHOR:** Eric Martin 2019 MBARI

## Purpose

A conversion tool that ingests Dorado AUV binary files and exports them as human-readable comma separate value (CSV) files. A descriptive text file is also generated that includes other header info in the binary files.

## Usage

This file was developed as a python script and packaged as a standalone .exe file for windows. 

### Python

For a log file, say `dvl.log`, simply run:

    python ./convert_dorado_log.py dvl.log

And the script with convert the file and in the same directory place the resultant `.csv` and `.txt` files.

### Windows 10

Leveraging the [pyinstaller] package, a standalone `.exe` file for use on windows command line tools has been created. You can add this file to your `PATH` so that the command interpreter can find it. In windows 10, you can also drag and drop the file onto the executable and the script will process files in the same way described in the previous section.
