This Matlab application automate the different steps of the on-board CTD/LADCP processing:

• Copy data acquisition CTD file to processing path
• Specific CTD SBE Processing (ladcp, codac, std, plt, report, btl)
  -ladcp: Specific CTD processing for LADCP processing.
  -codac: Data reduction for real-time transmission to Coriolis.
  -std: Standard processing to export ASCII data.
  -plt: Plot CTD profile.
  -report: Generate report CTD file.
  -btl: Bottle file processing.
• Copy data acquisition LADCP file to processing path
• ADCP LDEO Processing (https://github.com/jgrelet/ladcp)

Your computer must contain the SeaBird processing software SBEDataProcessing (under Windows only) and the data compression program gzip2.

You can get the latest version of these program there:

• SBEDataProcessing
• gzip2

At the beginning of a cruise:

- Prepare your .psa files,

- Fill in the 'configuration.ini' file with the cruise information and the directory paths 
  (The workspace file will be used for the entire cruise),

%% configuration.ini
% Mission variables
name_mission  
id_mission     
num_station     -> (if you want to process a specific station)
filename_ADCPM  -> Name of the output master LADCP file
filename_ADCPS  -> Name of the output slave LADCP file
name_adcpmaster -> New name for the master LADCP file
name_adcpslave  -> New name for the slave LADCP file
log_filename    -> Name of the logfile

- Launch ctdSeaProcessing under Matlab.

You can launch the program as debug mode with:

ctdSeaProcessing('mode','debug')
