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. |
