ioannis@56 | 1 | Products |
ioannis@56 | 2 | ======== |
ioannis@37 | 3 | |
ulalume3@58 | 4 | There are two ways that a product can be related to a system: *directly* or *indirectly*. |
ulalume3@58 | 5 | |
ulalume3@58 | 6 | A **directly** connected product (or **primary** product) is linked to a |
ulalume3@58 | 7 | system. When a measurement is processed, a file will be created containing the |
ulalume3@58 | 8 | retrieved quantities of this product. |
ulalume3@58 | 9 | |
ulalume3@58 | 10 | A **indirectly** connected product (or **secondary** product) is used in the |
ulalume3@58 | 11 | definition of a composite, more complex, product. For example, an "extinction" product |
ulalume3@58 | 12 | can be used to define a "lidar ratio and extinction" product. In this case the |
ulalume3@58 | 13 | "lidar ratio and extinction" product is the *primary* product (directly linked |
ulalume3@58 | 14 | to a system), and the "extinction" product is the *secondary* product (only liked to |
ulalume3@58 | 15 | the "lidar ratio and extinction" product). The output of a secondary product is not stored in a |
ulalume3@58 | 16 | file. |
ulalume3@58 | 17 | |
ulalume3@58 | 18 | .. warning:: |
ulalume3@58 | 19 | You should avoid linking a product both *directly* and *indirectly* to the |
ulalume3@58 | 20 | same system. If you link a *secondary* product directly to a system, |
ulalume3@58 | 21 | the output of the SCC could be wrong, as two products could attempt to write |
ulalume3@58 | 22 | their output on the same file. |
ulalume3@58 | 23 | |
ulalume3@58 | 24 | In the product list view, these information are summarized in two columns, labeled |
ulalume3@58 | 25 | "Directly connected" and "Parent products". |
ulalume3@58 | 26 | |
ulalume3@58 | 27 | Directly connected |
ulalume3@58 | 28 | Will be green for **primary** products, i.e. if the product is directly |
ulalume3@58 | 29 | linked to a system. |
ulalume3@58 | 30 | |
ulalume3@58 | 31 | Parent products |
ulalume3@58 | 32 | If the product is a **secondary** product (i.e. it is part of a composite product) |
ulalume3@58 | 33 | this column will have a links to the related *primary* products. |
ulalume3@58 | 34 | |
ulalume3@58 | 35 | .. note:: |
ulalume3@58 | 36 | **For administrators**: These two columns can be used to quickly spot "orphan" |
ulalume3@58 | 37 | products, i.e. products that are neither linked to a system nor to a composite |
ulalume3@58 | 38 | product. These products will not be available to any user to use, and should |
ulalume3@58 | 39 | be either connected to a system, or deleted. Orphan products will have *red* |
ulalume3@58 | 40 | in the *Directly connected* column and "-" in the *Parent products* column. |
ulalume3@58 | 41 | |
ulalume3@58 | 42 | Adding a product |
ulalume3@58 | 43 | ---------------- |
ulalume3@58 | 44 | |
ioannis@56 | 45 | Depending on the product you need to produce, some of the following tables need to be filled. |
ioannis@56 | 46 | |
ioannis@37 | 47 | |
ioannis@37 | 48 | .. note:: |
ioannis@37 | 49 | |
ioannis@56 | 50 | This section is not up-to-date to the latest interface version. |
ioannis@37 | 51 | |
ioannis@56 | 52 | .. note:: |
ioannis@56 | 53 | |
ulalume3@58 | 54 | Each product should be connected to a system, either directly or indirectly, |
ulalume3@58 | 55 | before being saved. |
