1. Overview

The WET Labs Archive Processing program (WAP) provides primary processing of data files
created by Data Handlers (DH-4s) and ac-9 Plus meters. This primary processing consists of
extracting time-stamped raw data from the archive files and applying calibration coefficients to the
data for all WET Labs instruments and selected instruments from other manufacturers.

WAP processes data from archive files that have a *.000 (three-digit) filename suffix. WAP
creates an Instrument Selection File for each “channel” of data, applying user-selected device
and/or calibration files. It then creates an Extraction Setup File with user-defined parameters
about how archive file will be processed. Last, an optional Merge Setup File applies time and/or
depth adjustments to processed data and combines/re-orders the data from one or more of the
“channels” of data into single files.

Secondary data processing such as data binning, quality control checks on data, statistical analysis,
etc. is not provided by WAP.

2. Setting up Processing Parameters

This section provides step-by-step instructions for using WAP to process data generated by an
example system consisting of an ac-s, ac-9, CTD, ECO BB9, and WET Labs Flow Sensor.

2.1 Create Folder Structure

Creating the folder structure listed is not required, but it will help a great deal to keep the
numerous files organized.

•

Create a folder and copy DH-4 or ac-9 Plus archive files you wish to process into
that folder.

•

Create a folder and copy all the device files and any ac meter correction files for
each meter’s data you wish to process into that folder.

•

Create a folder to contain data files processed (“extracted”) by WAP.

The main window will display the path of
each file and folder. WAP generated:

•

Instrumentation Selection File

•

Extraction Setup File

•

Merge Setup File

User-generated:

•

Folder to store DH-4/ac-9Plus-generated archive files in for processing by WAP.

•

Device File Folder

•

Output File Folder

2.2 Check and Extract Raw Data

Follow the steps below to view “raw” archives as a data check. Note that for ac meters, the
raw output will be binary.

1. Select the Setup pull-down menu,
then Output File Folder.

2. In the resulting window, navigate to
and double-click on the folder in
which you want to store the
raw_archive files WAP will create
(example at right).

Note that this path and folder name
will also be indicated on the main
WAP screen as Output File Folder.

WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006 3

3. Select the Extract to Raw button on the main WAP screen. The
Status indicator will change from Ready…

to Done With Raw Extraction when WAP is finished.

4. In the resulting window, navigate to the folder in which you have
saved the DH-4 or ac meter archive data files and select the desired
run you wish to check.

5. WAP names the resulting files, adding “raw” and appending the
meter’s WAP ID number to the filename.

6. View the raw_archive file(s) to verify the data appears
reasonable.

2.3 Create WAP Setup Files

WAP will further processes archive data and apply necessary corrections, calibration and
device file information. This will allow you to obtain data in engineering units, and
eventually merge this data with other meter data files. from the DH-4 or ac9 Plus archive
files.

2.3.1 Instrument Selection File

The *.isf files contain setup information regarding a specific meter and its associated
calibration and/or device file. Once created and saved, these setup files can be re-used
for processing other meter data files using WAP.

1. Start WAP if necessary.

2. Select Setup / Instrument Selection

> Create/Edit Instrument
Selection File.

To open an existing ISF file that
needs no modifications, choose

Select Instrument Selection File.

4 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

3. Select Meter Type and

enter a device file name if
one is required.

If you do not wish to
process data from one or
more channels, leave the
meter selection OFF. Note
that if a Meter Type is
selected (not set to OFF), an
output file will be created

Tip

Using the worksheet in Section 4 may help keep setup parameters organized.

4. After each of the Meter Type and Device File entries have
been completed, save the settings. The saved *.isf and path
will display on the main WAP window.

2.3.2 Extraction Setup File

Creating an *.esf provides WAP with the parameters (file type, output, and time stamp)
for processing an archive file.

1. Select Setup / Extraction Setup >
Create/Edit Instrument Selection File.

To open an existing *.esf that needs no
modifications, choose Select Extraction File.

WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006 5

2. Select WL Archive File (default setting)
in the Input File Format area of the
resulting window.

3. Select User Merged Files in the Output
area.

4. Select Logger ID 2 (default setting) in the
Clock Source area.

5. Select ms from Start of File (default
setting) in the Time Stamp area.

6. Use the File pull-down menu to save these
settings.

7. The saved *.esf and path will display at the
main WAP window. This file can be used
for subsequent file extractions.

8. At the main window, select Extract to Engr, then
the archive file. In this example, it’s archive.202.

WAP generates a new file for each instrument, adding the
WAP ID # to the filename. These files will be saved at the
location shown for the Output File Folder on the main screen
(This is a user-specified folder as created in section 2.1.)

2.3.3 Merge Setup

The Merge Setup File (*.msf) controls the final portion of the WAP merging
process. This data merging occurs at the end of the archive file extraction process
and is used to create merged files that contain the data from multiple instruments
that is time/depth-aligned.

WAP file merging is executed as series of sequential file merges performed on two
files at a time. The merge routines sequentially step through pairs of files, with each
step resulting in a merged file called pair.xx. Each pair of files consists of a “base”
file and a “merge” file. The base is used to determine the time/depth resolution for
the merged pair.

Each pair can build upon the previously created pairs. For example, if the first merged
pair contains data from an ac-9 and a CTD, the next merged pair could add the data
from a second ac-9, creating a merged file with data from two ac-9s and a CTD.

6 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

At the basic level, the user

• Selects the “base” and a “merge” pair of files to merge.

• Identifies whether the files will be merged using depth or time.

• Identifies the depth or time columns in the base and merge files.

• Sets the time or depth corrections (if any) for both the base and merge file.

• Selects the number of rows of header information in both base and merge files.

• Sets up any special ac meter data processing.

• Identifies analog channels, if any.

• Formats the output records.

In the following example, the ac-s file (WAP ID 21) will be
merged with the ac-9 “base” file (WAP ID 22). This will result in
Pair 01.

The figure below shows all selections for merging WAP ID 21 with WAP ID 22 to form
Pair 01. Details follow.

1. Select Setup / Merge Setup > Create/Edit Merge Setup File to create a new
Merge Setup File.

WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006 7

2. Select Pair 1. These
will be the first files
merged.

3. Select Merge On Time. The Base File Setup and the
Merge File Setup boxes will appear.

4. Under Base File Setup and Merge
File Setup, use up and down arrows to
select the ID # associated with the
Meter Type assigned in the *.isf
window.

5. In the Merge Column areas under

Base File Setup and Merge File
Setup, use the arrows to select the first

column of data you wish you to merge
(typically column 1). Do this for Base
File Setup and Merge File Setup.

6. The time/date pulldown menu can be
left at ms and the Lag at 0.

7. Scroll to select the number of header
lines in the meter’s output file. WAP
will process data beginning on the next
row.

8. Select the Meter Type: If one of the meters is an ac-9 or ac-s, select ac9 as the
meter type. Otherwise, leave as DKDC (Don’t Know, Don’t Care).

Note that it is only necessary to input the number of header lines for the first pair of
merged files; WAP includes only one header row for each subsequent file/pair.

8 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

9. Selecting a meter as ac9 will display the ac Corrections
portion of the window, allowing you to input clean water,
temperature, salinity, and scattering corrections. See the
appropriate sections below for details.

10. You can still apply a depth offset to the output records
(see section 3.4):
a. identify a base or merge column as the depth under

the CTPS/Pressure setting, OR

b. input a HAD value in the second location on the

CTPS pressure setting line, OR

c. input “iPres” (insert Pressure) as an item in the

Display Column Order area (see below).

11. Input the columns to be displayed after merging.

B1–19 is a “base” file, ac-9 columns 1 through 19.
M1–100 is a “merge” file, ac-s columns 1 through 100.

Note

In practice, setting up a complex file merge will take several iterations to get all the

column selections and merge options set correctly. WET Labs recommends you

attempt to set up one or two pairs of files at a time, making sure they are correct before

setting up additional pairs that may be dependent on earlier merges.

12. Save the settings for the first pair of files (ac-9 and ac-s): go
to File / Save As. Name the file in the resulting window.

13. In the main WAP window, click the

button.

16. Locate the newly created archive_pair_01.000 (in this
example, it’s in the “extracted” folder set up to contain
all WAP-generated data files.) The .000 files may be
opened in a text-view program such as Notebook, or in
MS Excel.

Following the steps in this section, then, will have generated

•

raw_archive_WAP ID#_Meter Type.000 files, in
which ASCII data can be verified.

•

archive_ WAP ID#_Meter Type.000, which contain
processed data.

•

(Section 2.4: archive_pair_01.000, which in this
example is merged ac-s and ac-9 data.)

The example archive Pair 01 is a bit more complex than merging entire files, but
demonstrates the program’s functionality and is the basis for creating Pair 02 discussed in
Section 2.4.

B1 B8 are “base” files, ac-9 columns 1
and 8.

M86 is a “merge” file, ac-s column 86.

B9 is a “base” file, ac-9 column 9.

This ordering will merge ac-9 and ac-s meters into

columns by wavelength, with ac-9 “c” data followed by

ac-s “c” data, then ac-9 and ac-s “a” data.

10 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

2.4 Merge File Pairs

Configure the second part of the merge: In the following example, ac-9 and ac-s files have
been merged to form Pair 1, and a BB9 file will be merged with Pair 1 to form Pair 2.

1. In WAP, go to Create/Edit

Merge Setup File. Check
Pair 02, and in the resulting

box, check Merge on Time.

2. Select Pair 1 as the Base File.
Select WAP ID 24 (BB meter)
as the file to merge.

3. In the
under

Merge File Setup

Merge Column
Base File Setup

, use the

areas

and

arrows to ascend or descend to
the first column of data you
wish you to merge (typically
column 1).

4. Leave the “time” pull-down set to milliseconds (ms). Set the Lag in milliseconds for
both the Base and Merge files. (0 ms is perfectly acceptable.) A positive lag will cause a
record to be merged later than file time indicates. For example, if a lag is set to 1000 ms,
a record collected at 2500 ms will be processed and labeled as 3500 ms.

5. Select whether you want to keep the last header line as column headers in the merged
file or whether you want to discard all header lines.

6. Input the columns to be displayed after merging:

m1: time column, BB9 file to be merged.
b2-5: “base” (pair 1) columns (ac-9 and ac-s) of “a”

and “c” measurements at 412 nm.

M3-6: “merge” column of BB9 data at 412 nm.
B6-9: “base” (pair 1) columns (ac-9 and ac-s) of “a” and

“c” measurements at 440 nm.

3.2 Instrument Selection

An Instrument Selection File (*.isf) is used to tell WAP how the data from every channel is
going to be processed. The file includes information regarding meter type and the meter’s
respective calibration or device files. WAP can process an archive file with data from up to 4
independent data loggers.

Setup / Instrument Selection >
Instrument Selection File

Allows selection of a previously saved
file and fills in that line on the main
WAP window. This file type will be used
during subsequent file extractions.

Create/Edit Instrument Selection File:

Displays the Logger ID tabs.

Logger ID # Tabs

Logger ID 1–Logger ID 4 correspond to each
configured data logger. The Logger ID is embedded
in each data packet of every archive file.

If multiple data loggers were used in the creation of
an archive file, each data logger must have a unique
Logger ID.

o

Logger ID 1

is the typical ID for a host
computer used as a data logger (refer to the
WET Labs DH-4 User’s Guide for details).

o Logger ID 2

9Plus meters.

o

Logger ID 3

is the default ID for DH-4 and ac-

and

Logger ID 4

are IDs for systems with more than one DH-4 or ac-

9Plus.

Note

The terms Logger ID, MUX ID, and DH-Mux ID are all equivalent and may be found on different

versions of WET Labs host programs.

Serial Port

The Serial Port column consists of numbers 1–9, which correspond to a mix of serial and
analog data channels from the various data loggers. Each WET Labs DH-4 may have up to
8 serial data ports and 3 analog ports. WAP identifies port 9 as the analog port if the meter
has one. If there are two analog ports, the second analog port will be identified by WAP as
port 8.

14 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

WAP ID

The WAP ID column displays nine ID numbers depending on which Logger ID tab is
currently selected. The tens digit represents the Logger ID; the ones digit represents the
Serial Port. For example:
WAP ID 23 indicates the data is from Logger ID 2, the 3rd serial port.
WAP ID 39 indicates the data is from Logger ID 3, the analog port.

As WAP processes each archive file, a single data file will be created for each instrument.
The WAP ID associated with each instrument will be embedded in the extracted output
file name to help identify the instrument’s logic port number.

Meter Type

Each data port has a Meter Type selection. WAP will alter the way it processes the data
(data verification, time stamps, conversion to engineering units) according to which meter
type is selected. See Appendix B, WAP Meter Types, for a complete description of each
meter.

Note that if a Meter Type is selected (not set to OFF), an output file will be created
whether or not a meter is physically present.

Device File

Each meter has a device file selection that is used to convert data from its “raw” state, as
collected, to “processed,” or engineering units. Device file selections are dependent on the
Meter Type selected. See Appendix B: WAP Meter Types, for a complete description of
each meter. Typical device file types:

•

• WET Labs— *.dev

Sea-Bird— *.con

File

• New: clears all 4 Logger ID tabs, enabling the user to start with
empty entry forms.

• Open: open and load an existing ISF. This is used to review or
modify a previously saved ISF.

• Save As: saves all the current settings for all 4 Logger ID tabs
for all Meter Types and device file entries.

• Exit: closes the Edit ISF File window without saving the
current ISF settings.

Clear_Logger_Settings

Clear Logger ID 1–Clear Logger ID 4 can be used to erase the
Meter Types and device file selections for respective Logger ID
tabs. This may be useful when modifying existing *.isf files.

program defaults.

• Open: opens and loads a previously saved ESF.

• Save As: saves all the current settings in an ESF.

• Exit: closes the ESF Setup File window without saving the

current settings.

Input File Format

Indicates the file format
WAP will process.

•

WL Archive File—the usual and default standard archive file for ac-9Plus and
DH-4.

•

IOP File—non-standard file, not commonly used.

•

Raw Data File—if WAP is set to output raw data, no data conversion will be
performed on the extracted data, and the resulting files will be archived raw.
Where possible, WAP will perform minimal data checking for selected
instruments to validate the raw data packets before saving the data. To get byte­for-byte, “pure” raw data without any data checking, use the Binary option under

Meter Type in the ISF options.

3.4 Merge Setup File

The Merge Setup File (*.msf) is used to control the WAP merging process. This data merging
occurs at the end of the archive file extraction process and is used to (a) process analog data
recorded in CTD records or WET Labs loggers (such as DH-4 or ac-9 Plus), and (b) create
files that contain the data from multiple instruments that is time/depth-aligned. WAP file
merging is executed as series of sequential file merges performed on two files at a time. The
merge routines sequentially step through pairs of files, with each step resulting in a merged
file called pair.xx. Each step can build upon the previously created pairs.

Setup / Merge Setup >

Select Merge Setup File
allows selection of a previously saved file,
and fills in that line on the main WAP
window. This file type will be used during
subsequent file extractions.

Create/Edit Merge Setup File:

results in the Merge Setup File: *.MSF window below.

Select File Pairs to Merge
Displays the pair of files to be merged.
If the parameters for a pair are
displayed, they can be changed. Starting
with Pair 1, define the files you want to
work with, and what processing you
want to occur.

Once a pair has been selected, its merge parameters will be displayed and may be
changed. Note that you cannot proceed unless a pair is selected.

As each pair is selected, the bottom portion of the program display will show the pair
selected for display, and all its current parameters.

Skip or Merge Pair
Determines whether and how the two data files will be merged.

•

Skip this Pair: All parameters within the Merge Pair XX
group box are ignored, and processing begins on the next pair,

•

Merge On Depth: Data files will be merged according to the
depth columns identified under the Depth Column XX of the
Base File Setup and Merge File Setup.

•

Merge On Time: Data files will be merged according to the time columns identified
under the Time Column XX of the Base File Setup and Merge File Setup.

18 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

•

Append Merge to Base: Merges two files without performing any other merge
processing. This is useful to “pre-pend” a header file to the a data file. If this option is
selected, the entire “base” file will be copied to the “pair” file, followed by entire
“merge” file.

Base File Setup, Merge File Setup

Each file in the pair of files to be merged is either considered
the base file or the merge file. The data rate and merge units
(depth or time) are determined by the data rate or units of the
base file.

WAP ID corresponds to the Meter Type in the ISF setup
window (see 3.2). It is selectable from 11 to 49.

Pair xx is selectable from 1 through 20.

File: allows inputting the path and name of an archive file to

merge.

Merge Column: the first column of the “base” and “merge” file data to be merged,
typically column 1.

Merge On Time: Any lag is entered in milliseconds (ms) for both the Base and Merge

files. (0 ms is perfectly acceptable.) A positive lag will cause a record to be merged later
than file time indicates. For example, if a lag is set to 1000 ms, a record collected at 2500
ms will be processed and labeled as 3500 ms.

Merge on Depth: Any Height Above Datum (HAD) can be entered for both the Base and
Merge Files. (0 cm is perfectly acceptable.) The datum point is usually the CTD pressure
sensor location. If a measurement surface or inlet tube is located above the datum point (or
pressure sensor), subtract the height from the depth measurement. For example, if a sensor
is located 50 cm above the CTD pressure sensor, the HAD relative to the datum point would
be 50 cm.

Header Lines: The number of header lines in the base and merge files. It is only necessary
to input the number of header lines for the first pair of merged files; WAP includes only one
header line for each subsequent files/pairs.

Note that ac-9s have 31 lines of header information. ac-s meters typically have 96. CTD
files processed by WAP have 1 line of header information.

Meter Type identifies what type of meter created the data
file. This is required only to correctly apply the ac
corrections to the data. The options are DKDC (Don’t
Know, Don’t Care), CTD-Analog-DO, and ac-9.

WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006 19

Cal at xx.x C and x.xx PSU define the ac meter

calibration temperature and salinity. Factory calibrations
are performed in clean water (0 PSU) and at a temperature
listed in the ac meter’s .cal file.

Apply ac-Meter Corrections

These corrections may only be applied to the WETView-compatible data files generated by

WETView or during the archive file extraction process of WAP. Once a record order has been

altered by a merge, applying the ac Corrections will result in erroneous data.

Caution!

If a meter type of ac-9 is selected in either the Base File
Setup or Merge File Setup boxes, the Apply ac-Meter
Corrections is used to determine what corrections will be

applied to the ac meter data. the associated *.cor file must
be specified to perform desired corrections.

Clean Water Offsets applies user-calculated clean water offsets to the ac data. If the file
listed in the edit box is not found or if the file format is not correct, data merging will be
halted.

Temperature applies temperature corrections, as found in the file listed in the t.cor edit
box, to the ac data. If the file listed in the t.cor edit box is not found or if the file format is
not correct, data merging will be halted.

Salinity applies salinity corrections, as found in the s.cor edit box, to be applied to the ac
data. If the file listed in the s.cor edit box is not found or if the file format is not correct,
data merging will be halted.

Scatter causes one of three scatter corrections to be applied to the ac data. The three
scattering correction options are listed in the ac-9 user’s guide:

1. Base Wavelength Subtraction using a715 as the absorption wavelength being
subtracted.

2. (c-a)% where a percentage of the c–a measurement is used as the scattering correction.

3. Zaneveld Method.

If you select either the temperature or salinity absorption correction, you must specify the
calibration temperature or salinity in the appropriate Base File Setup or Merge File

Setup box.

Appendix A: ASCII Data Processing

WAP can process most meters with <CR LF>-terminated ASCII output files. The ASCII
meters are selected in the Instrument Selection File (ISF) and are classified as:

1. Analog: raw voltage measurements for analog meters such as C-Stars or WETStars, but
not limited to WET Labs meters.

2. CTD_ENGR: CT and CTD meters that have calibrated engineering unit data as their
output. These include, but are not limited to, meters from FSI and Sea-Bird’s
SBE19Plus, SBE37, and SBE49.

3. ECO: All WET Labs ECO series meters.

4. MISC_ASCII: All other meters for which the output is calibrated or that can be
processed using linear calibration coefficients.

Device Files

Meter device files have three sections:

1. header lines

2. meter-specific settings

3. output record definitions.

Blank lines are ignored. Lines beginning with “:” are considered comment lines and are
also ignored.

1. Header Lines

The device file header contains two lines:

• Line 1 is the meter name / identification and the meter S/N.

• Line 2 is the file creation or modification date.

2. Meter-Specific Settings

Some meters require additional information to process their data. These settings are
made after the header lines and before the output record definitions.

•

CTD meters require the line:
ISCTD=YES

•

If a file is for a moored CT meter, a fixed depth can be entered into the processed
record using:
FIXED-DEPTH=XXX.X
where XXX.X will be used as the pressure column.

WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006 25

For ECO BB scatter meters, the default settings used in the scatter calculations may be
altered. These settings and their defaults are:

Fixed-Salinity = ss.ss Default is 32.0 PSU
Water=Pure Default is SEA
Theta=x.xxx Default is 2.0042035 radians = 117 degrees
XFactor=x.x Chi: Default = 1.1

3. Output Record Definition

Each field or column of an ASCII output record must be described so WAP can process
(or skip) it. The data definition section begins with the number of columns in the data
record and ends with the end of the file.

Each column is defined by a record in the device file that (a) identifies what type of
data it is, (b) which column it is found in, (c) parameters used to process the data, and
(d) an optional column heading.

Each tab or space-delimited field is considered a column regardless of whether the data
is numeric or alphanumeric.

Sig = Raw Signal Count
V = Voltage
Ref = Reference Count
RV = Reference Voltage
N is a column number starting with column 1
SF = Scale Factor
OF = Offset
CL is a Column Label used for the output column header
SWL = Signal Wave Length—Wavelength of LED
DWL = Display Wave Length—Not used by WAP
DC = Dark Count Voltage

The first line of the Output Record Definition section is:
COLUMNS=N

Fields ignored/not processed by WAP:
Date=N Numeric date or DD/MM/YY format
Time=N Numeric time or HH:MM:SS format
Ref=N A reference value
DKDC=N Don’t Know Don’t Care
N/U= Not Used
Reference= Same as Ref=

26 WAP User’s Guide (WAP) Revision E4 19 June 2006

The following measurement types use x = (Sig-OF) * SF and are initialized using the form:
