RBNB Sink Actor Design And API

Difference between version 24 and version 4:

Lines 1-2 were replaced by lines 1-2
- There currently exist two prototype actors and a few workflows that use them.
- We will merge these actors, as well as continue to add functionality to them in the future.
+ There currently exist two prototype Kepler actors that retrieve and output data from RBNB servers, and a few workflows that use them.
+ We will likely merge these actors into one, as well as continue to add functionality to them in the future.
Line 6 was replaced by line 6
- RBNBToKepler2 operates on a timeslice of data from an RBNB server. The user points it at the server, specifies a time range, and optionally specifies channels to ignore (ie not download).
+ RBNBToKepler2 operates on a timeslice of data from an RBNB server. The user specifies server, time range, and optionally channels to ignore, and the actor then retrieves and outputs data and associated timestamps through multiports.
Line 8 was replaced by lines 8-10
- Here are some screenshots of an example RBNBToKepler2 workflow and the resulting plots. This is junk "desk data"--the Campbell CR800 datalogger and all our sensors are setup and running on my desk. You can easily note when I switched from AC to solar near the beginning of the batt volt plot. Sensors and the solar panel were/are occasionally arbitrarily moved about, though it was fairly infrequent (in the case of the panel, generally to better sit in sunlight). We had one cloudy day.
+ There are two demonstration workflows that use the RBNBToKepler2 actor that you can try from the [CVS version|http://kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=DevelopmentForKepler] of Kepler:
+ * workflows/neon/RBNBToKeplerDisplay4SDF.xml (Creates plots)
+ * workflows/reap/TerrestrialRBNB_QAQC.xml (Emails alerts)
Line 10 was replaced by lines 12-13
- Screenshots, CR800 program, wiring details, etc to come...
+
+ Attached below are some plots from the RBNBToKepler2 actor, results of sensor data being pulled from an RBNB server and plotted. For more details please see the [Terrestrial UseCase Hardware page|TerrestrialUseCaseHardware]
