Tag Tools Test data sets
The three Tag Tools test data sets, below, were generated from DTag sensor data stored in a Matlab *.mat file format & DTag metadata stored in a *.csv file format using scripts written in the Matlab scripting language. For example test_set2.nc was generated from the following files; test_set2.mat (1,045KB) & test_set2.csv (2KB) using the function make_test_set2.m (1KB) using the Import & Export Tools.
