l2gen

Creates a Level 2 file from an input Level 1 (A or B) file.

Location

SeaDAS-Toolobox -> SeaDAS Processors -> l2gen

Details

For the command line version of help run l2gen -help

The l2gen GUI is dynamically created based on the selected IFILE. Once the IFILE is specified, l2gen is run in the background in a special mode in order to obtain and populate all the parameters and defaults for l2gen GUI. This means that if a new version of l2gen comes out, with new parameters, defaults, etc., your current version of SeaDAS will automatically support these parameters. Note that because of this l2gen dependency on the building of the GUI, SeaDAS 7 requires l2gen version 6.5.7 or later.

All l2gen parameters are contained within a series of categorized tabs:

Non-Defaults Selected Indicator (*)
When a parameter is chosen to be a non-default value, that parameter will show up in the parfile textarea of the MAIN tab. As an aid to help direct the user to tabs containing at least one parameter set to a non-default value, an asterix (*) will appear at the top of the tab. Also within the tab, an asterix will appear next to each parameter which is a non-default value.

THE MAIN TAB

Selecting the IFILE
The SeaDAS l2gen GUI requires as it's initial input, a correctly formatted, non-corrupt IFILE. All tabs and fields within the l2gen GUI are disabled until the IFILE is specified. If a product is currently loaded and enabled in SeaDAS, then the IFILE of this product will automatically appear in the GUI as the selected IFILE and all the GUI parameters will be built.

Once this IFILE has been specified, the mission and data level are obtained from this file. If the IFILE data level matches the expected input data level of l2gen, the GUI will then use this file to run l2gen in the background in order to obtain and populate all the parameters and defaults of l2gen GUI.

One thing very important to note is that since this GUI is built from the IFILE, a subsequent selection of a different IFILE will cause the GUI to be rebuilt with all the fields set to the defaults. If you have parameters already specified and wish to save these, then the best route would be to save them in a parfile, select a new IFILE, then reload the parfile. An alternate way to try to keep your currently selected parameters, is to type the ifile name into the parfile textarea in the GUI.

Selecting the OFILE and the GEOFILE
A default OFILE, and GEOFILE (if mission uses this parameter) are determined based on the specified IFILE. If the IFILE is not an absolute filename but is a relative filename, then the OFILE, and GEOFILE defaults will be relative as well. Note that in this case, the OFILE, and GEOFILE are expected to be in the same directory as the IFILE. You need not use these defaults and are free to choose your own OFILE and GEOFILE names.

Get Ancillary Files
This button invokes a web-based utility which retrieves all the ancillary files names needed by l2gen for the selected IFILE.

Show Defaults
Checking this checkbox causes all the parameters (including those set to default values) to be displayed within the Parfile textarea. They are commented out to prevent them being used when running l2gen. This feature is useful to understand not only what are the defaults but also to be able to view all the possible l2gen parameters in a single textarea.

Suite
Selects the suite which will essentially define all the parameter defaults. Please note that selection of a new suite will result in the GUI being reset, similar to what happens when a new IFILE is selected, so any prior information which you entered will be lost, and restored with all the new defaults. If you wish to retain your current information (at least as much as is possible), then type the suite into the parfile textarea instead. This will result in the suite being set, but then the rest of the parfile will be read in.

Parfile Textarea
This textarea contains all of the currently selected parameters which are not the l2gen default value. You can either export this to a file or import an external file. When importing an external parfile, the "Retain Selected IFILE" checkbox can be used to ignore any IFILE parameter contained within the external parfile.

It's useful to note that when you are editing text in the parfile textarea you can click "Apply". This will cause the text to update all the GUI parameters. The parfile textarea will automatically be reformatted in a consistent way, so be aware that the order of your hand-entered parameters may change due to this. Clicking on another field or another tab will also have the same effect as clicking the "Apply" button.

To reset all parameters within a given tab to the default, click the button at the bottom of the panel. To reset all parameters within all tabs, no button as of yet exists but you can simply delete the entire parfile textarea in the main tab, and this will restore everything to default.

THE PRODUCTS TAB

The l2gen product parameter L2PROD is initially set to the default value. At any time L2PROD can be restored to the default value by clicking 'Restore Defaults' at the bottom of this tab. L2PROD can be specified in a multitude of ways. Note that a change within any of one these product specifier controls will automatically update the others.

Product Selector
The products are grouped into logical categories within this tree-based selector. Any branch may be fully unwound and an individual product may then be selected. Selection at any parent level will result in the selection of all the child level products. By default, checking/unchecking a parent behaves in a dual state manner, respectively checking/unchecking all of it's children.

Wavelength Limiter
This tool is useful when several partial wavelength selections are desired. If the 'Wavelength Limiter' is partially selected then the 'Product Selector' checkboxes for the parent level take on a tri-state behaviour of (none, partial, all), where partial reflects the selected criteria within the 'Wavelength Limiter'.

Note that a change in the 'Wavelength Limiter' will not directly change the products selected, but only effects the behaviour of the 'Product Selector'.

Also note that the Wavelength Limitor tool is expected to contain a list of wavelengths regardless of the mission selected. The wavelengths do vary depending on mission. If this tool does not contain any wavelengths then there is likely a problem and could perhaps be a bad IFILE.

Selected Products Textarea
This textfield displays the current selection of L2PROD and is fully editable.

THE PROCESSING OPTIONS TAB

THE SUBSETTING OPTIONS TAB

This contains 2 sets of mutually exclusive options: pixels (spixl, epixl, dpixl, sline, eline, dline) and coordinates (north, south, east, west). This GUI will not permit selection of both sets, resetting the prior selection to the default. (i.e. If you set pixel field to a non-default value and then subsequently set a coordinate field to a non-default value, the latest selection (the coordinate field) will take precedent and the previously set field (the pixel field) will be automatically reset to the default.
