Initial description about the handbook if instruments.
| ioannis@37 | 1 | The Handbook of instruments |
| ioannis@37 | 2 | =========================== |
| binietoglou@64 | 3 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 4 | The SCC database contains all the information needed to complete the handbook of instruments. We hope |
| binietoglou@64 | 5 | that this method of updating system information will be more efficient than exchanging traditional excel files. |
| binietoglou@64 | 6 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 7 | Describing your systems |
| binietoglou@64 | 8 | ----------------------- |
| binietoglou@64 | 9 | Unfortunately, the SCC does not contain the concept of a system, but only of System Configuration. |
| binietoglou@64 | 10 | This means that a station can have a single physical system, but use several configuration in the database |
| binietoglou@64 | 11 | (daytime channels, Raman channels, etc).For example, the Alomar station, could have three system configuration |
| binietoglou@64 | 12 | but only one system, the "ALOMAR Troposphere Lidar". |
| binietoglou@64 | 13 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 14 | To construct the HOI we groupd different configurations based on the **name** of the system. In the previous example, |
| binietoglou@64 | 15 | we need to combine all three configuration of ALOMAR in one system. To do this: |
| binietoglou@64 | 16 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 17 | 1. Group all system configurations with the same name as one system. |
| binietoglou@64 | 18 | 2. Get all distinct channels connected with any of these systems. |
| binietoglou@64 | 19 | 3. Get all lasers, telescopes, and emission lines for all channels. |
| binietoglou@64 | 20 | 4. Show all of these to the HOI as one system. |
| binietoglou@64 | 21 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 22 | Excluding system configurations or channels |
| binietoglou@64 | 23 | ------------------------------------------- |
| binietoglou@64 | 24 | It is possible that you create some system configuration or channel just for testing purposes. It is possible |
| binietoglou@64 | 25 | to exclude these from the handbook of instruments. To do this: |
| binietoglou@64 | 26 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 27 | 1. Login to the admin section. |
| binietoglou@64 | 28 | 2. Go to the page of the system/channel you want to exclude |
| binietoglou@64 | 29 | 3. Check the "Exclude from HOI" checkbox. |
| binietoglou@64 | 30 | |
| binietoglou@64 | 31 | System from and to dates |
| binietoglou@64 | 32 | ------------------------ |
| binietoglou@64 | 33 | If you had several old systems that are no longer working, or if you have performed a major upgrade to your system, |
| binietoglou@64 | 34 | it is a good idea to include this information to the HOI. Each system configuration includes the |
| binietoglou@64 | 35 | fields **Configuration from** and **Configuration to** that define the time period that the system was active. |
