=====Notes to Use SODA=====

To easily use SODA while in the T28_Data directory while on the aircraft server, there are a couple of programs you'll have to download into your home directory (/home/yourname).
  * ADPAA (Airborne Data Processing and Analysis)
  * SODA (System for OAP Data Analysis)


=====Downloading Packages=====
  - Go to this link to download CoPAS (might not need to do this based off Dave's last reply),
    - https://github.com/daviddelene/CoPAS
    - CoPAS contains ADPAA and SODA (it's how I (James) got ADPAA)
      - It contains instructions in the readme on how to install everything
      - I'm not sure how to download ADPAA without using CoPAS to do it
  - Link to ADPAA
     - https://sourceforge.net/projects/adpaa/
  - Link to SODA
     - https://github.com/abansemer/soda2/blob/master/MANUAL.pdf
     - You CAN download SODA independently. However, the script to easily run the SODA gui is a part of ADPAA
       - git clone https://github.com/abansemer/soda2

=====Browsing Data with SODA=====
With SODA and ADPAA installed (might not need it installed, may be able to skip to running "gnu_soda2"),
   - Navigate to the directory with a .dat file
     - e.g. /Radar_Data/T28_Data/data/yr2000/f757/SODA_Outputs/filename.dat
   - type,
     - gnu_soda2
   - click on "Menu" then "Browse Data..."
   - click on File and select a .dat file
   - To exit SODA and regain use of command line,
     - Once you've exited the SODA gui, type into the command line "exit" and hit enter
       - You won't see any text appear, but if it worked, after a few seconds SODA will finish exiting and you can use the command line normally again.


=====Using SODA to Process Data=====
Described in this manual https://github.com/abansemer/soda2/blob/master/MANUAL.pdf
   - To exit SODA and regain use of command line,
     - Once you've exited the SODA gui, type into the command line "exit" and hit enter
       - You won't see any text appear, but if it worked, after a few seconds SODA will finish exiting and you can use the command line normally again.
