Transferring Data: RAM Packs to Computer
1. After booting the computer, change to the METDATA directory and run the SMCOM program.
SMCOM is menu driven, prompts and responses are as
follows:
Serial Port: 2 -- COM 2
SM232 or SM232A: N
Root Collection File Name: see definition below
SMCOM Options: U - collect all uncollected data
files
Format: C - Comma delineated ASCII
2. Define the computer Data File Name:
The data file name is 8 characters long, defined as
follows:
1) The first letter is the site's initial:
P - Phillips Creek
H - Hog Island
O - Oyster Lab
R - Red Bank
B - Brownsville
P - Parramore Island (Teach's)
2) The second letter is either:
M - Met Data
T - Tide Data
P - Pumping Data
3) The third and fourth characters are the month
number of the current month;
4) The next two are the current year;
5) The final two characters are supplied by the
SMCOM program and are "01" typically. A
suffix of DAT will be automatically appended
by SMCOM.
For example, if you downloaded data on August 17, 1989 from the Hog Island Met Station, the file name you provide would be:"HM0889", the computer will append "01.DAT" to give full filename of: HM088901.DAT. Mail copies of data to U. Va.
Uploading Data: Computer to UVA
1. Copy files to jrs4u directory on Pentium and cd \jrs4u
2. Use command pkzip -m dt119501.zip *.dat to create new file called dt119501.zip (or appropriate month and year) which contains all data files in your directory. It will also delete the *.DAT files from the hard disk. So, keep a copy of these files and send a copy to UVA via U.S. Mail as per usual.
3. Start the Trumpet Winsock in the SLIP program. Trumpet Winsock icon should appear in the upper let of the group. MODEM should dial, all as per TELNET or NETSCAPE usage.
4. Start the FTP program - usethe FTP icon - Go to down arrow by "Name" and select "Amazon" off the list of servers. Set user name as jrs4u and the password as your password and set "Initial Dir." to be : /home/jrs4u
(You can hit "save" if you want to save these setting for future use.)
Now hit "OK" to hook on to Amazon.
5. Hit the ChgDir button on the left-hand window and change directory to \jrs4u on the local PC.
6. Make sure the "Binary" radio button on the bottom is checked.
7. Highlight the DT951101.ZIP file in the left-hand window, hit the arrow pointing towards the right-hand window. File transfer should now egin. Bytes counted off below right-hand window.
8. Send e-mail to UVA to confirm uploading of data.
9. Exit FTP, use Dailer/Bye command in Trumpet/Winsock to hang-up.
Downloading Data from NET to UVA PC
1. Login to amazon.evsc.virginia.edu
2. cd /home/jrs4u
3. Hit ALT-T to start an FTP link back to your PC.
4. Hit ALT-W when asked for password.
5. At FTP prompt, give command "binary".
6. Use command "mput *.zip"
7. Answer "y" for all the files you want.
8. Use "quit" to exit FTP.
9. UnZip data files with the command PKUNZIP FILENAME*.ZIP
10. You should now have datafiles to work with.

Data
Validation
These programs are run in QBASIC and called MVAL1 (met), TVAL1 (tide), or PVAL1 (pumping). Raw data files are copied to C:\LTER\PROGRAMS\VALIDATE directory. The program asks for the filename of file to be validated. A ".VAL" file is created for each raw (".DAT") file processed. Validation of files is noted on the Data Validation Logsheet in the computer logbook maintained at UVA. VAL files are passed on to John Porter for storage. A list of field error checks follows:

Solar Radiation Sensor Calibration Logsheet
7-17-95
The total (200S) and quantum (190S) radiation sensors need to be recalibrated at the Li-Cor Factory every two years. Li-Cor will provide a Certificate of Calibration for each sensor indicating the sensor output in micro-amps per energy density unit. This should be recorded on the sensor's Calibration Logsheet and compared to the calibration constant for that sensor when placed in service. Any change greater than 5% should be reported to the data archive personnel to allow flagging of data points.
Licor's address:
Li-Cor, Inc.
Box 4425
Lincoln, Nebraska, 68504
phone:(402) 467-3576
When a sensor is removed a new sensor will be placed in service immediately at that station. Because its constant will be different from the one removed, a new multiplier must be calculated for the 21X program and entered into it. The 21X multiplier is calculated as follows:
For 200S Sensor: MULT=60/(0.100*uamps)
For 190S Sensor: MULT=60/(0.604*uamps)
The multipliers must be entered into the datalogger program in the proper location. Changes to the program must be noted in the Station Log and on all "current" listings of that station's 21X program.
Show constants and calculations below:
Field Calibration Check
Model HMP35C Temperature / Relative Humidity Probe
Temperature:
In the *6 MODE on the 21X advance to Channel 04 to view the continuous readings from the temperature probe. Hold a reference mercury thermometer within 0.5m of the temperature probe, allow to stabilize. Record the reference temperature and the 21X temperature on the Calibration Logsheet. If the difference is within +/-2 degrees, the sensor is considered in calibration. If greater than 2 degrees, repeat the test (maximum of three attempts). Three failures indicate a sensor out of calibration and requires factory repair/recalibration (Campbell Scientific).
Relative Humidity
In the *6 MODE on the 21X advance to Channel 05 to view the continuous readings from the relative humidity probe. Using an automated psychron, measure the relative humidity within 0.5 meters of the probe. Record the psychron relative humidity and the 21X relative humidity on the Calibration Logsheet. The two readings should be within 10% RH of each other. If not, repeat the test. Three failures indicate a probe out of calibration and require that it be repaired/recalibrated at the factory (Campbell Scientific).

Field Calibration Check
R.M. Young Wind Monitor
7-17-95
Wind Speed:
Remove the propeller from the wind monitor and attach the flexible hose from the calibration motor to the anemometer. Spin the anemometer at 1800 rpm and use the Datalogger *6 MODE, Channel 06 to read the resultant wind speed indication. Record this on the calibration check sheet. It should be within +/- 1 m/s of 8.8 m/s. Repeat up to three times to achieve a successful test. Repeated failure indicates sensor problems. Troubleshoot and repair as required, recheck calibration.
Wind Direction:
Wind direction is checked by having one person manually rotate the wind monitor to four known directions (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees). Monitor the datalogger in the *6 MODE, Channel 08 to verify correct values (within +/- 10 degrees).
