Subject: Add some more cochran data parsing code/comments
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8add7917ce9da2faa7751798c3fb15a24715ae1e;p=ext%2Fsubsurface.git

Add some more cochran data parsing code/comments

The code is pretty useless, the comments perhaps equally so.  I'm trying
to figure out what the data pattern is for the cochran CAN files.  There
definitely *is* a pattern, but it actually seems to be different for the
files of different people - and it's not obvious in any case.

There probably are multiple versions of the format, and there might be
things like "David has a high-pressure sensor, and Alex does not" going
on too.

+ * Cochran export files show that depths seem to be in
+ * tenth of feet.
+ *
+ * Temperature seems to be exported in Fahrenheit.
+ *
+ * Cylinder pressure seems to be in multiples of 4 psi.
+ *
+ * The data seems to be some byte-stream where the pattern
+ * appears to be that the two high bits indicate type of
+ * data.
+ *
+ * For '00', the low six bits seem to be positive
+ * values with a distribution towards zero, probably depth
+ * deltas. '0 0' exists, but is very rare ("surface"?). 63
+ * exists, but is rare.
+ *
+ * For '01', the low six bits seem to be a signed binary value,
+ * with the most common being 0, and 1 and -1 (63) being the
+ * next most common values.
+ *
+ * NOTE! Don's CAN data is different. It shows the reverse pattern
+ * for 00 and 01 above: 00 looks like signed data, with 01 looking
+ * like unsigned data.
+ *
+ * For '10', there seems to be another positive value distribution,
+ * but unlike '00' the value 0 is common, and I see examples of 63
+ * too ("overflow"?) and a spike at '7'.
+ *
+ * Again, Don's data is different.
+ *
+ * The values for '11' seem to be some exception case. Possibly
+ * overflow handling, possibly warning events. It doesn't have
+ * any clear distribution: values 0, 1, 16, 33, 35, 48, 51, 55
+ * and 63 are common.
+ *
+ * For David and Don's data, '01' is the most common, with '00'
+ * and '10' not uncommon. '11' is two orders of magnitude less
+ * common.
+ *
+ * For Alex, '00' is the most common, with 01 about a third as
+ * common, and 02 a third of that. 11 is least common.
+ *
+ * There clearly are variations in the format here. And Alex has
+ * a different data offset than Don/David too (see the #ifdef DON).
+ * Christ. Maybe I've misread the patterns entirely.
