q330gpslocate log1 log2 ...
The q330gpslocate program parses a series of log files from a Quanterra Q330 data logger. From these files it extracts lines in the log file containing latitude and longitude information. It reads all these numbers into memory and computes the following statistical estimates of the distribution of numbers: mean, median, lower quartile, upper quartile, lower bound, upper bound, and the number of samples in the ensemble. The statistics are sent to standard output with labels defining the results for the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
The method used to find the GPS fix data is crude and depends upon a simple keyword search for Latitude and Longitude. If Quanterra changes the format of that line, this program will fail.
