Importing raw data into an Auriga database

Requirements

• A C compiler and the knowledge to write a simple I/O program
• The PAR utility tool
• A Pre-loaded Palm OS Emulator (POSE)

1. Create a Sample cave database (DB) on POSE, inputting a survey shot and session similar to those to be imported
2. Right-click on POSE and use the Export database menu item to transfer the DB as a Windows file
3. Run PAR to extract the DB records using the following command:
   

   par x Sample_Cave.pdb -A Sample_info

   This will extract the cave parameters into the Sample_info file and the survey shot and sessions records into .pdr files (in this order.) You may use these files as templates for the next step
   
   
4. Using the public Auriga file format, write a Windows executable to create a single file for each survey shot and session records, perhaps reading the data from a text file. Be aware of C structures of unions and the fact that Palm OS devices use a little-endian processor (i.e. the lowest byte in a word is the least significant)
5. Create the target cave database:
   

   par c -n Target_Cave.pdb -v 56 -I AURI -T Cave -a backup

6. Append cave parameters:
   

   par a Target_Cave.pdb -A Sample_info

7. Repeatedly append survey shot records from Shotnnn files:
   

   par a Target_Cave.pdb -c 1 Shotnnn

8. Repeatedly append session records from Sessionnnn files:
   

   par a Target_Cave.pdb -c 2 Sessionnnn

9. Load the DB into POSE, reorganize it using the Maintenance form in Auriga and extract it back from POSE using its Export database menu item
