KIMU CSV Exporter

This is an ArcGIS python toolbox geoprocessing tool that exports a protocol specific CSV file from an Esri file geodatabase (FGDB) created by the NPS Park Observer mobile data collection tool. This tool is very specific to the Kittlitz's Murrlet Survey Protocol conducted by the Southeast Alaska Network (SEAN) in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GLBA).

Build

This tool does not need to be built in order to be used. However, this tool needs to stay in sync with the KIMU survey protocol used by Park Observer. This can usually be done by editing the configuration parameters at the start of the KIMUTools.pyt file.

Deploy

Just copy the file KIMUTools.pyt file to any location accessible by ArcGIS Desktop. This toolbox is written for python 2.7 and only works with ArcMap or ArcCatalog.

Using

In ArcMap or ArcCatalog, open the ArcToolbox window, and right click on an open space to get the context menu. Select open toolbox and browse to KIMUTools.pyt. Launch the tool FGDB to CSV in the KIMU Toolbox. Select the FGDB created with the poz2fgdb tool from the *.poz file exported from Park Observer. Provide an output folder and file name for the CSV and then click OK.
