CTD column naming #4

Closed EOGrady21 closed 2 years ago

EOGrady21 commented 2 years ago

The app currently uses default CTD data file column names based on an older version of the VPR. We will need to update the default column names to reflect the new model which will be in use this summer.

We should also allow for interactive/ easy updating of the column names if they need to be changed again.

This should all be clearly documented so the user can understand how to data file is being read.

EOGrady21 commented 2 years ago

From vprr , the 'default' CTD column names are as follows: "time_ms", "conductivity", "temperature", "pressure", "salinity", "fluor_ref", "fluorescence_mv", "turbidity_ref", "turbidity_mv", "altitude_NA"

We will need to check the VPR manual to ensure these column names are correct for the new model.

This has been confirmed in the manual and there is now a small drop down next to the CTD file loader, so a user can select which model of VPR they are using (this automatically selects the proper data column names)
