.covi files convertor

Simple script to extract measured data from multiple .covi files and save them to csv/txt files.

.covi file contains measured force / pressure data from GTE CoboSafe measuring device.

Output

Force data are saved to csv file - two columns for each measurement (Time [s], Force [N]).

Pressure data can be saved either to csv file (one column for each measurement) or to txt file (individual file for each measurement).

Usage

examples folder contains a few .covi files.

These .covi files can be converted by calling covi_convertor_main.py as

• convert force data (2020_03_11 Force measurement 36.covi)

  python3 covi_convertor_main.py 0 output_name examples/2020_03_11\ Force-pressure\ measurement_1

• convert pressure data (2020_03_11 Pressure measurement_1.covi)

  python3 covi_convertor_main.py 1 output_name examples/2020_03_11\ Force-pressure\ measurement_1

• convert both force and pressure data (2020_03_11 Force measurement 36.covi & 2020_03_11 Pressure measurement_1.covi)

  python3 covi_convertor_main.py 2 output_name examples

However, the preffered way is to import covi_convertor.py to your own code and call functions force_to_csv, pressure_to_csv, force_pressure_to_csv directly.
