Signature Data Organization #64

Closed lkilcher closed 1 year ago

lkilcher commented 4 years ago

Reading Nortek Signature files (.ad2cp) has ambiguity associated with the ensemble counter when multiple ping-types are merged together. To address this, it would be better if output data was organized by ping-type, and then the user could apply a nortek2.reduce-like function that meets their needs.

I think this starts with using ping-type specific ensemble counters. This raises issues when the user specifies the number of ensembles he/she wants, but that can be sorted out I think.
