data.instruments.locate

data.instruments.locate accesses the segmentation system to generate a report of instrument locations.

Command Line Usage

data.instruments.locate Pattern[ Pattern] ...

The output consists of comma-separated records containing the instrument specification (manufacturer, model number, serial number), station ID, instrument ID, start time, and end time, e.g.,

TSI;3563;1010,wsa,S11,1994-11-16T00:00:00Z,1998-02-04T00:00:00Z

Arguments

Pattern

The Perl regular expression to match in the segmentation system. Normally this is specified like the instrument segemenation (e.x. “TSI;3563;1010”). Output is generated if any pattern matches.

Example Usage

Locate a specific instrument

data.instruments.locate 'TSI;3563;1010'

Locate all instruments of a particular make/model

data.instruments.locate 'TSI;3563.*'

Accessing all spanchecks for an instrument

Make a script file with the data to access: 

data.instruments.locate 'TSI;3563;1010' | perl -ne 'chomp; @f=split/,/; $i=$i+1; print join(" ", "data.get", $f[1], $f[2]."k", @f[3..4])." > combine.$i \n"' > run.sh

Check the script file (run.sh) to make sure there aren't overlapping time periods, then run it. It will produce a series of files (combine.N) that can then be used with data.multiplex to make a single output file: 

data.multiplex combine.*
