Parameter files

Each Radx application may be (optionally) run using a parameter file. These files are well-commented and therefore serve to document the details of the applications.

The default parameter file may be generated from the command line.

For example:

  RadxConvert -print_params > RadxConvert.test

will print, to stdout, the default parameter file. While:

  RadxConvert -print_params long > RadxConvert.test

will print the same file, but with certain sections expanded into 'long' format.

Generally, you would either use an existing parameter file as a template, or generate the default file from scratch, and then edit the file to make modifications.

You may also bring an existing (or old) parameter file up to date with the print_params method. For example:

  RadxConvert -params RadxConvert.old -print_params long > RadxConvert.new

creates a new parameter file from an old one, adding in any newly-supported parameters, and removing any deprecated parameters.

The following are the default parameter files for the  Radx applications:
