There is a certain level of complexity inherent in any software package with
EdiRe’s flexibility. At the University of Edinburgh ftp site you will find an
online user forum (http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/research/micromet/
EdiRe/EdiReForum/), FAQ (http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/research/
micromet/EdiRe/Help_information.html), and tutorials (http://www.geos.ed.
ac.uk/abs/research/micromet/EdiRe/Tutorials/).
Along with the information on the University of Edinburgh’s ftp site, see the
EdiRe online help and the Campbell Scientific, Inc. Application Note on using
EdiRe. EdiRe lends itself to experimentation. The best way to learn how to
use EdiRe is to experiment with it.
EdiRe is not a Campbell Scientific, Inc. product. Campbell
Scientific, Inc. provides limited support of EdiRe, specifically in
reading in TOB1 data files. If further support is required, contact
the support personnel listed at http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/

4.2.2.1 Creating Raw File Format and Processing Lists
Start EdiRe, select the Processing|Interpreter menu. Fill out the Interpreter
screen as shown in Figure 27. In the “Sample file” pull down menu, navigate
to the folder that contains the raw time series data and select one of the TOB1
files (Figure 28). Do the same for the “Format list file name” and “Processing
List file name”. After the Interpreter screen is filled out, it should look
something like Figure 29. Now click on the “Create” button.
EdiRe will estimate the data collection frequency and display this estimate in a
pop-up window. The estimate will be wrong because EdiRe includes the
header information as data records in the file. Enter the correct data collection
frequency (Figure 30). Now, click on “OK” and then “OK” again. EdiRe will
create and load the format and processing lists.
