Convert .csv to .yml Overview

convert_csv_yml.py converts a coordinate file in .csv format into a Greensea .yml mission file.

It is designed to be as easy to use as possible:

• You configure the program to match your requirements, rather than the program forcing you to modify all of your .csv data files
• Values for any data element can be assigned as a default
• The column order can be user defined
• Unused columns can be ignored by the program so you don't have to delete them from your data
• The Lat/Lon Degrees format is flexible (DD, DDM, DMS; use +/- or N/S; use "," "'" and """ or not)

The program can run on Ubuntu on the Control Console or on Windows on a PC / Laptop.

Before converting your .csv file, you will likely need to set up the defaults to match your data requirements. This manual will explain how to do that.

for Real Time Import of data from other sensors or applications, see the Real Time Import section.

The program is available in the downloads section.
