Meta-data that Photizo will track for each station

• Station Name
  • A one-word identifier, unique across all networks
• PakBusID
• Moxa IP (if applicable)
• Com port (if applicable)
• Station Descriptive Name
• Network (actually, a station will be contained in a network, so does not have to explicitly name its network)
  • Descriptive or “display” name
• Location Description
  • e.g. Ridge southwest of Umiat Mountain
• Latitude
  • Decimal form
  • + is North, - is South
• Longitude
  • Decimal form
  • + is West, - is East
• Magnetic Declination
  • + is west, - is east
• Elevation (meters)
• Data File Directory (used internally in Photizo)
• Data File Base Name (used internally in Photizo)
• Output Directory (used internally in Photizo)
• Template Map (used internally in Photizo)
• Tables being transmitted from station
  • What sensors are in each table, and whether that sensor (column) needs conversion from raw units to “human” units
• Time Zone in which the sensor readings are being reported
  • This information will probably need to be added to the timestamp when it is imported, so if the time zone changes, it will not invalidate previous readings
• Remarks
• Contact(s)
• Site Photos (?) Probably not in the database…up for debate
• Slope and Aspect
• Vegetation (Site and Area)
• Topography
• Soil Type
• Datalogger type and serial number
• Multiplexor type(s) and serial number(s)
• Power supply(ies) and serial number(s)
• Current program name, version and author
• Program history (when what versions were uploaded)
• Other datalogger program metadata?
