QC1 Database: browser interface

This interface allows to browse the complete, selected or filtered content of a chosen table. The selected options are transformed into a database query.

The example below can be verified by chosing 'uves' and 'uves_bias' in the general interface.


Section 1-3: General, QC1 and instrument keywords can be selected. The default selection is based on the most relevant numerical (integer or real) keywords. Some or all of the Instrument Keywords can be used for filtering the output. Default setting is always 'any'. The string 'na' shows up for those keys which cannot be used for filtering.

Selection can be reset. A Markall/UnMarkAll option is offered on top.


Section 4: Here the time range for data selection, aggregate functions and the output format can be specified. Default values for time range are:

from [today minus 3 months] to [today].

The aggregate functions are defined for numerical keys (float or int):

  • SUM: sum of all selectedentries
  • MEAN: mean values of all selected entries
  • 1SIGMA: standard deviation
  • NUMBER: total number of selected entries

Output format options are 'ASCII' (with a headline and unformatted output, preferred for machine processing of the output), and 'HTML' which includes formatting.


The navigation bar on top connects to the QC home page, the top-level (general) QC1 database interface, the corresponding QC1 plotter interface (same instrument, same table), and to this user's guide.

Output

The output either comes as (pre-) formatted ASCII table, or as HTML file:

If chosen, the aggregate numbers come in a separate section at the bottom of the result page:
