I have a rather unique problem. Not sure if Python is the right way to solve it, but here goes:
I have some satellite (radiotelemetry) location data that I am trying to analyze for movement patterns, etc. I want to animate certain time periods. However because of the way the data are downloaded, I have a date field for the date but for the time, I had to make a text field and convert the time into the following format:
hh:mm am/pm
I think I need a singe field to make the animation work the way I want (showing consecutive locations on a map). I'm not overly familiar with the datetime functions in Python. Is there a way to combine these two fields into a single datetime field? Would it be somehow easier to do this with the field calculator?
Thanks for any suggestions.
