Man page for prl2tse
 
 USAGE:  
          prl2tse [options] <file> <tse-target-out>
 
 PURPOSE:

          Writes a TSF EDIT instruction file to assemble
          a time series from an urtap solution, prl-file.
   
          It can do: produce ts- and mc-files with admittances and drift:
          BoxCar and Slope and TsfEdi (the latter is the method for
          exponentials)
 
 OPTIONS:
 
   -old           - after June-July 2018 the prl format was changed to
                    show the column numbers with three decimals instead of two.
                    Use this option when older prl files are to be processed.

   -o <outf>      - output tse-file, default tmp/prl2tse.tse
                    If the default is used, the file will be
                    printed to STDOUT.
                    With -FF, the -o or the -q option must be given.

   -q               Quiet; don't print the default result file.

   -app             Append to <outf>
 
   -D             - Skip the drift terms
   -sym SYMB[,SYMB...]
                  - Select only these symbols (field 1 in prl-file)
                    Default is all.
 
   -A             - Add signals. Default is inverted signs, used to subtract
                    the synth series from a gravity series.
 
   -S             - Synthesize drift terms only. With tslist you can
                    * create a zero-ts
                    * set a suitable epoch and
                    * call tsfedit
   -S+            - like -S, signs of coefficient as in prl-file
                             which means: drift subtraction
   -S-            -   "  -S, invert the signs, however. Gives
                             the coefficients for drift prediction.
 
   -TB tse[,trg]  - A command file [section] that will be placed first (Begin)
   -TE tse[,trg]  - ... that will be appended to the output (End).
                    Uses bin/xtr-tse for the purpose.
                    If a section target is given, only this section is
                    listed, however with the section mark-up removed.
                    If a section target is not found, nothing will
                    be printed.
                    If no section target is specified but the file
                    contains sections, all will be printed (with the
                    markup intact, which is probably not what you want.
                    (with -TB there will be an END command before the
                    output of the converted prl-file). 

   -X<v> #factor  - Do variations, i.e. add factor × uncertainty to the
                    amplitude coefficient for the following parameters:
                    <v> = B      S      E
                          bias   slope  exponential
 
   -V             - a verbose-output option, shows the uncertainties
                    as they are retrieved from the prl-file.
 
   -FF <fdir>[,<fdir>...]    
                  - Concerning -D, if the prl refers to more than
                    one ts-file in subdirectories and there are ambiguities
                    as to which ones exactly, or if a file has a symbolic link,
                    do an interactive selection in the subdir(s) <fdir> ...
 
 NOT SURE WHETHER -X and -V are working correctly. Especially after the format change.
 
 EXAMPLES:

   prl2tse -D o/g090701-140131-1h-boa-bpfM6.prl SYNTH >! synth.tse
 
   prl2tse -sym ATML,ALPW,BRAW,BHPW -D -A o/g090615-OPNEND-1h-atm.prl ATBA

 
 EXTENDED HOW.TO FOR URTAPM, merging campaigns:
 
  Assume you have a reliable result in  o/g090615-OPNEND-1h-nnt-ochy.prl from tide analysis with urtap-openend-ochy.ins
cd ~/Ttide/SCG
prl2tse -S+ o/g090615-OPNEND-1h-nnt-ochy.prl SYNTH > ! tmp/synth-tmp.tse
  Edit the tse-file, adjust dates FROM to some days earlier (2009 06 29) and TO to very late.
tslist _75000 -r1 -B2009,6,29 -I -E tmp/synth-tmp.tse,S -D -o o/synth-drift-ochy-nnt.ts
 
cd ~/TD/a/Allcamps
cd d
rm -f recent-urtap-ochy.ts
ln -s ~/Ttide/SCG/o/synth-drift-ochy-nnt.ts recent-urtap-ochy.ts
  This file is suitable for urtapm's command D
