Information management and analysis tools for South Coast Science data consumers

Purpose

The scs_analysis package provides a collection of utilities for data subscription, retrieval, filtering and charting of environmental data. In addition, it enables messaging-based communication with sensing devices, together with simple data storage.

Operation

The package is primarily intended for use in a command-line environment, either on a laptop computer, or on a device such as a Raspberry Pi - in the latter case, this package enables such a device to act as both a data producer and a data consumer.

Structure

The design of the scs_analysis package aims to minimise original functionality - in almost all cases, scripts make use of functions that are built into the scs_core package, on which it depends. The package therefore provides guidance on how to deploy the same functionality in the cloud.

Requirements

As with all Unix command-line utilities, the scripts in scs_analysis anticipate the availability of the pipe "|" function, to direct the output of one command to the input of the next. For best results, the scripts require either a Unix shell environment, or the Windows 10 Unix emulator.
