Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is a command-line based application that comes with modern installations of the Windows operating system. It provides a framework for powerful automation of processes such as data management and QA/QC.
​
We are providing a few example code snippets for running simple but highly useful, time-saving QA/QC checks for common types of acoustic data.
​
To run the code, browse to the folder containing your survey data, then click File -> Open Windows PowerShell. It should start the command line interface within the same directory as your data.
Paste the full code snippet and wait for your results!
Code Snippets
Copy the code below next to your acoustic data type to run simple QA/QC checks on your data. These snippets will search for detector serial numbers in the acoustic files and report all unique numbers found. If acoustic data from multiple detectors were accidentally placed in the same folder, the code below should reveal this error.
