Usage v0.2.0
Important
This usage describes using MTH5 version 0.2.0 where Survey is the top level of the MTH5 file structure. The current version is 0.2.0. Some version 0.1.0 files have been archived and this is here for reference.
Basic Groups
Each MTH5 file has default groups. A ‘group’ is basically like a folder that can contain other groups or datasets. These are:
- ExperimentGroup: The master or root group of the HDF5 file
ReportsGroup: Holds any reports relevant to the experiment
StandardsGroup: A summary of metadata standards used
SurveysGroup: Holds the surveys in an experiment
SurveyGroup: The master or root group of the HDF5 file
FiltersGroup: Holds all filters and filter information
ZPKGroup: Holds pole zero filters
FAPGroup: Holds frequency look up table filters
FIRGroup: Holds finite impulse response filters
CoefficientGroup: Holds coefficient filters
TimeDelayGroup: Holds time delay filters
Reports: Holds any reports relevant to the survey
StationsGroup: Holds all the stations an subsequent data
StationGroup: Holds a single station
RunGroup: Holds a single run
ChannelDataset: Holds a single channel
Each group also has a summary table to make it easier to search and access different parts of the file. Each entry in the table will have an HDF5 reference that can be directly used to get the appropriate group or dataset without using the path.
