CSV Export about readgssi HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @eshoemaker1, sorry it's taken me so long to respond. The values depend on your radar controller, and the integer type will be displayed in the header info. I think in most cases, they are 32 bit signed. Some earlier GSSI hardware may output 16 signed or 8 signed, but unless you're using an older model I don't think this will be the case for you. In any event, assuming they're 32 bit signed is probably fine, since I'm assuming you're using something like Matlab to read them in, and putting them in an array with a larger integer type won't necessarily hurt if they are in fact a smaller integer. (the array will just use slightly more memory in this case)

What I can do in the future is add a printed statement when outputting CSV that displays what kind of integer was indicated by the file header.

As for the conversion, I have no idea. I'm not a GSSI representative, and I don't know much about the electrical engineering of their hardware. That's a question for GSSI support. I would assume yes, but take caution in doing so. My guess is that the conversion would probably not be linear, it would depend on hardware and software gain and filter effects, but again that's a wild guess.
