Extract LAI from .TXT-files

The methods in this repo allow for LAI value extraction from TXT.-files generated by LI-COR LAI-2200 meter. Files are searched recursively and are aggregated in one .csv file. ESU names are added/validated via a Look Up Table (LUT) containing the coordinates of field measurement sites.

Name of interactive command line tool extract_LAI.

Example usage of command line tool:

# get to directory which contains (folders of)
# LAI TXT files
cd /path/to/LAI/TXT/files

# start interactive LAI extraction:
extract_LAI

Example usage of python module:

from mni2017 import extract_LAI

LAI = LAIdata()  # initialize LAIdata class object, load or create 'data.csv' file
LAI.extract_LAI()  # extract LAI values from available files in cwd
LAI.save_LAIdata()  # save updated 'data.csv' file

# show data from field 301
fieldnumber = 301
LAI.field(fieldnumber)
