Mea Culpa-PAMGuard Whistle/Moan Detections to Raven Selection Tables

So, I did a bad-bad thing. No, not that kind of bad-bad thing and if it were I certainly wouldn't write about it on the internet.


Bioacoustics Blogger Did a Bad-Bad Thing:
not de-bugging code before releasing it unto the world
No, a few weeks ago I wrote a piece of code that took binary output from the PAMGuard whistle and moan detector and converted it to a selection table for Raven. I was pleased as punch that I had written this nifty piece of code and more so that I could share it with anybody else interested in converting outputs between these two platforms. So pleased was I, in fact, that I didn't remember to thoroughly check the code for bugs. Once I did, I found out it was wrong, not just a little wrong but wildly wrong.
