OCTOPUS is a multi-format Checker, Converter and Splitter tool. From the OCTOPUS web page:
- OCTOPUS checks the compliance of a file to the SeaDataNet ODV, netCDF and MedAtlas standard formats. The checks for ODV and NetCDF are described in the FAQ section
- OCTOPUS converts files in a given SeaDataNet format to another SeaDataNet format (e.g.: ODV to NetCDF, netCDF to ODV, MedAtlas to NetCDF, MedAtlas to ODV)
- OCTOPUS checks the ODV SDN variant formats for biology, microlitter and flow cytometry, it can converts them from ODV variant to ODV variant
- OCTOPUS has also additional functions such as:
- Split a multi-station SeaDataNet file into mono-station SeaDataNet files
- Extract station(s) from SeaDataNet files
- Convert MGD v81 and v98 to SeaDataNet ODV files
The new release includes:
- Adds-on
- Take into account ODV variants for biology, flow cytometry and microlitters for checks and conversions ODV to ODV
- ODV check: the primary variable must have at least one non null value
- Bug fixed
- NetCDF SDN Format: all numeric types are allowed (not only doubles)
- Conversion MedAtlas to ODV: use of default value defined in the current station header
