cal2sql
============  

cal2sql loads calibration data from standard calibration files like :ref:`MFS06E0727.txt <calibration_file>` 

cal2sql creates a `sqlite3 database <https://www.sqlite.org/>`_ . To be functional in all software modules **the name must be calibration.sql3 and stored in the /db folder !** 
which is part of the  :ref:`survey structure <survey_folder_structure>`

cal2sql can export data into various formats.

In case you are writing your own software: create a database with your coils. It is better and more stable to use a database instead of an ASCII parser.
