DataPro and related utilities

Background

This program and related utilities started out in 2006 or 2007 as a way to leverage the gp.py program for web page creation. Basically, as a way to allow web pages generated by that tool to display data coming from Array styled outputting data loggers (Campbell Scientific cr10x & cr23x etc). Along the way it turned into a more full featured data processing system written in python with a host of support utilities. Bob Busey wrote the original and then student (now staff member) Ross Spicer did a nice rewrite and organized it like a proper computer scientist might.<br.

Where to find it

The current release can be found on Ross' github page:
