This script collection allows to compile raw data from ultrasonic pulse transmission tests (FreshCon device) to datasets using the open GNU Octave binary file format.
[!NOTE] The entire content of this script collection was conceived, implemented and tested by Jakob Harden using the scientific numerical programming language of GNU Octave 6.2.0.

To be able to use the scripts, GNU Octave 6.2.0 (or a higher version) need to to be installed. GNU Octave is available via the package management system on many Linux distributions. Windows users have to download the Windows version of GNU Octave and to install the software manually.
All script files (*.m) are UTF-8 encoded plain text files written in the scientific programming language of GNU Octave 6.2.0.

Where T is the raw data source type, S the raw data source directory and FP the full qualified file path to the compiled data set. Possible options for T are documented in the function file ./structhdf/import/structimport.m. The resulting output file (*.oct) is always placed in the parent directory of the source directory.
Example:
octave: >> init;
octave: >> struct_import("paste", "/path/to/source/mydataset");
octave: >> ds = load("/path/to/source/mydataset.oct", "dataset").dataset;
In the example shown above, the raw data of an ultrasonic pulse transmission test on a cement paste is compiled to a binary dataset in "/path/to/source/mydataset.oct".
All function files in this script collection contain a proper documentation and usage instructions. To access that help on the GNU Octave command line, type:
octave: >> init;
octave: >> help function_file_name;
Datasets compiled with this scripts are made available at the repository of Graz University of Technology under an open license (Creative Commons, CC BY 4.0). The repository records enlisted below contain the raw data, the compiled datasets and a technical description of the record content.

Dataset Exporter is implemented in the programming language of GNU Octave 6.2.0 and allows for exporting data contained in the datasets. The main features of that script collection cover the export of substructures to variables and the serialization to the CSV format, the JSON structure format and TeX code. It is also made publicly available under the MIT licence at the repository of Graz University of Technology.
[!NOTE] Dataset Exporter is also available on github. Dataset Exporter
Dataset Viewer is implemented in the programming language of GNU Octave 6.2.0 and allows for plotting measurement data contained in the datasets. The main features of that script collection cover 2D plots, 3D plots and rendering MP4 video files from the measurement data contained in the datasets. It is also made publicly available under the MIT licence at the repository of Graz University of Technology.
[!NOTE] Dataset Viewer is also available on github. Dataset Viewer
