RBNB Sink Actor Design And API

Difference between version 24 and version 8:

Removed lines 1-3
- __Note: This page under construction! CR800 program, wiring details, more text and cleanup of existing text to come...__
-
-
Lines 9-11 were replaced by line 6
- RBNBToKepler2 operates on a timeslice of data from an RBNB server. The user specified server, time range, and optionally channels to ignore (ie to not download), and the actor then retrieves and outputs this data.
-
- Below find screenshots of an example RBNBToKepler2 workflow and the resulting plots. This is junk "desk data"--the Campbell CR800 datalogger and sensors are set up and running on my desk. You can easily note when I switched from AC to solar near the beginning of the battery voltage 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.
+ 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.
At line 12 added 3 lines.
+ 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)
Lines 15-27 were replaced by line 13
- !Plots
- All times are in seconds since unix epoch. This will be remedied in the future, it requires a fair amount of development to be implemented properly.

+ 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]
