  • Cleaned up the pm2.5 data using find/replace in vim
  • Rebuilt the sampletracking data file from the spreadsheet, removing some bad data/samples
  • Made worksheet for filtering samples
  • Generated timeline graphs of all samples taken (all and by category), and those sent/to-be-sent to Kiowa

  • Created a sample log file for matlab (sampletracking_110505.txt).
  • Downloaded hourly pm2.5 data provided by DAQ from PCAPS page.
  • This data is in separate files for each day, so I concatenated them into one file with a bash script (see below)
  • Created a matlab script that reads sample log file and pm2.5 data and outputs a timeline of samples taken, and which have been run.

Bash code to concatenate the daily pm2.5 files (minus headers in each file)

# Run from directory containing all files
# Last 24 lines in each file contain the data (the top is all header stuff)
for i in *.txt; do tail -24 "$i" >> newfile.txt; done
