Enable use of EK80 raw data format

RobBlackwell commented 3 years ago

echopy can be used with EK80 data, but it's a bit of a faff at the moment and we dont yet have documentation or code samples.

You have to use Rick Towler's branch of PyEchoLab that supports reading EK80 data. One way to do this is to add this line to your requirements.txt file:

-e git+https://github.com/CI-CMG/pyEcholab.git@RHT-EK80#egg=pyEcholab

The nice thing about Alejandro's design is that, once you have Sv data, you can just use the echopy functions irrespective of the instrument that produced the data.

I really must get around to including some code samples.
