We hope +that this method of updating system information will be more efficient than exchanging traditional excel files. + +Describing your systems +----------------------- +Unfortunately, the SCC does not contain the concept of a system, but only of System Configuration. +This means that a station can have a single physical system, but use several configuration in the database +(daytime channels, Raman channels, etc).For example, the Alomar station, could have three system configuration +but only one system, the "ALOMAR Troposphere Lidar". + +To construct the HOI we groupd different configurations based on the **name** of the system. In the previous example, +we need to combine all three configuration of ALOMAR in one system. To do this: + +1. Group all system configurations with the same name as one system. +2. Get all distinct channels connected with any of these systems. +3. Get all lasers, telescopes, and emission lines for all channels. +4. Show all of these to the HOI as one system. + +Excluding system configurations or channels +------------------------------------------- +It is possible that you create some system configuration or channel just for testing purposes. It is possible +to exclude these from the handbook of instruments. To do this: + +1. Login to the admin section. +2. Go to the page of the system/channel you want to exclude +3. Check the "Exclude from HOI" checkbox. + +System from and to dates +------------------------ +If you had several old systems that are no longer working, or if you have performed a major upgrade to your system, +it is a good idea to include this information to the HOI. Each system configuration includes the +fields **Configuration from** and **Configuration to** that define the time period that the system was active. + + + + + +
