I have to write multiple consecutive datasets (adjacent tiles) to Aircom Enterprise files.

Is there any possibility to merge new data of adjacent tiles to the existing clutter file in the folder instead of overwriting it?

Hi @oiram,

Difficult to say without any demo-data. But from what I can read from the specification it does not seem to be able to "update" existing files:

Yes, it cannot update at the moment. I solved it like this:

1) Save each tile with all its resolutions to a different folder (files raster1.bin, raster2.bin, raster3.bin)

2) A separate script copies the *.bin-files to a common folder, renames the files to raster_i_.bin and copies the corresponding rows from the index to a new index file in the common folder. I did this with R, but Python or similar is possible as well.
