Manual
The following sections briefly describe how to run DATAVER from the command- line, the required input and the produced output files.
Introduction
DATAVER may be used to average two or more exerimental data files. Use cases include averageing of multiple frames of a single data collection, or multiple sample or buffer measurements.
In the case of only one input file, the output contains the data of the single input.
Running dataver
Usage:
$ dataver [OPTIONS] <SASDATA(S)>
OPTIONS known by DATAVER are described in next section, the required FILE arguments in the section on input files.
Command-Line Arguments and Options
DATAVER requires the following command line arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| SASDATA | One or more experimental SAS data (.dat) |
| files. |
Absolute as well as relative paths to data files are accepted. Instead of a file name, one of the arguments may be given as ‘-‘ to read data from stdin.
DATAVER recognizes following command-line options:
| Short option | Long option | Description |

| -o | --output <FILE> | Specify a FILE where to write the averaged data to, the FILE may contain relative or absolute path components. By default the result is written to stdout. |
| -v | --version | Print version information and exit. |
