giuseppe@132 1 Product-Channel Connections
giuseppe@132 2 ===========================
giuseppe@132 3
giuseppe@132 4 The definition of each SCC product requires the specification of all the lidar channels needed to calculate it. For example, for a Raman backscatter product it is necessary to speficy which elastic and Raman lidar channels need to be used to compute the particle backscatter profile.
giuseppe@132 5
giuseppe@132 6 The list of the channels to be provided depends on the product type and also on the product usecase_.
giuseppe@132 7
giuseppe@132 8 .. _usecase: usecases.html
giuseppe@132 9
giuseppe@132 10
giuseppe@132 11 In particular, the number and the type of the lidar channels to be linked to a product for a particular usecase is given by the input channels (i.e. the channels you find on the top of each usecase schema) given in the definition of the corresponding usecase.
giuseppe@132 12
giuseppe@132 13 For example, from the schema defining the usecase 5 of Raman backscatter product we find that 4 channels need to be linked:
giuseppe@132 14
giuseppe@132 15 - 2 elastic channels (one for near range and another for the far range - elTnr and elTfr)
giuseppe@132 16 - 2 Raman channels (again one for near range and one for the far range vrRN2nr of vrRN2fr).
giuseppe@132 17
giuseppe@132 18 Lidar channels are linked to a particular product by using the tab 'Product/channel connections' available in each product settings page (from admin section). To enstablish the link two channel characteristic should be provided:
giuseppe@132 19
giuseppe@132 20 - channel ID
giuseppe@132 21 - Signal Type
giuseppe@132 22
giuseppe@132 23 The channel ID is automatically provided when you select on the small maggnifying glass available on the right of channel ID field (tab Product/channel connections) and select the channel you want to use in the pop up list (if the channel ID to be included is already known it is possible to provide it there directly).
giuseppe@132 24
giuseppe@132 25 The signal type should be selected among the available options according to the role of the specific channel in the product calculation. To facilitate the consistency between the definition of signal type and what is required by the selected product usecase, the input channels reported in each usecase schema are named as the available signal types. Coming back to the example of the usecase 5 of Raman backscatter, for the near range and far range elastic channels the signal type "elTnr" and "elTfr" should be used respectively. In the same way for the near range and far range Raman channel the signal type "vrRN2nr" and "vrRN2fr" should be used.
giuseppe@132 26
giuseppe@132 27 .. warning::
giuseppe@132 28 If the definition of the channels in "Product/channel connections" is not consistent with what expected according to the selected product usecase, an error reporting inconsistent product adefinition is reported by ELPP module.
