4 The SCC database contains all the information needed to complete the handbook of instruments. We hope |
| |
5 that this method of updating system information will be more efficient than exchanging traditional excel files. |

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