Safecast / CzechRad LOG2CSV converter working and ready to use

[Jan Helebrant]

Dear colleagues,

the Safecast / CzechRad LOG2CSV Windows utility is now working fine and ready to download:

https://github.com/juhele/CzechRad/tree/main/SCRIPTS

Although I am a fan and long-time Linux user myself, I realize that the vast majority use Windows, so this utility is for Windows. It is a small CLI utility, no configuration is required - just put the LOG files in the "input" folder, run the EXE and the result will be saved in the "output" folder.

No installation needed, no admin rights needed. :-)  The utility distinguishes between Safecast devices (device string starts with "BN") and CzechRad (device string starts with "CZ") and applies the corresponding conversion factor to calculate the dose rate (ADER).

Output is standard CSV file - easy to import in a spreadsheet like Excel or Libreoffice Calc:

enjoy

Jan,

For a Zen user, I needed to have a guide on how to edit the sdcard data.. So easy now.. 2 minutes with Claude 3.7 sonnet.

Seems correct. If you have time, can you check?

Regards

Dear Rob,

Step 1: Install and Configure the Plugin
1. Open QGIS
2. Go to Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins
3. Search for "Radiation ToolBox"

Before 3 you also need to enable experimental plugins - there is a checkbox "Show also experimental plugins" in settings

https://docs.qgis.org/3.40/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/fetching_plugins.html#follow-along-configuring-additional-plugin-repositories

Step 3: Remove Unwanted Points

No, the PDF describes native editing in QGIS, but we use plugin tools for this - there is a scissors and trash icon on the plugin panel:

https://opengeolabs.gitlab.io/radiation-toolbox/qgis-radiation-toolbox-plugin/user-manual.html#delete-measured-points

Step 4: Save the Modified Data

If you need to save in the LOG format - for Safecast API for example, then you need to save the data using the plugin - the floppy disk icon:

https://opengeolabs.gitlab.io/radiation-toolbox/qgis-radiation-toolbox-plugin/user-manual.html#save-changes-into-new-log-file

Consider creating a spatial index

This has nothing to do with the plugin itself - its a native QGIS feature.

Might have sense only with some merged data - I used to work with points for the whole Fukushima prefecture... But IMHO has no sense for individual measurements.

If you need to remove duplicate points

No sense here - you do not have "duplicate points" in LOG data. Or maybe sometimes when not moving but "duplicate" would mean having exactly the same coordinates...
