Terrestrial Use Case Hardware

Difference between version 54 and version 43:

Line 2 was replaced by line 2
- Below find details on the [terrestrial usecase|http://reap.ecoinformatics.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Land_PlantPath] hardware, some pictures from a dry run setup, screenshots of an example Kepler workflow using the [RBNBToKepler2 actor|http://reap.ecoinformatics.org/Wiki.jsp?page=RBNBSinkActorDesignAndAPI] and the resulting plots. The CRBasic program used to collect these data is also [posted below|TerrestrialUseCaseHardware#Datalogger Program].

- The datafile that comes out of Loggernet, an ascii comma separated .dat file (LoggerNet "TOA5" format) was parsed and pushed into my RBNB server with a small java program I wrote (DatToRBNB.java). This program can create a new RBNB channelmap using all the data in a TOA5 file or be periodically run on a growing file to append to an existing channelmap. (* currently have a bug w/ append mode periodically dropping old data). DatToRBNB can also be used to pull data from RBNB and print it to stdout (in fact pulling data is also done when pushing using append mode, to gather knowledge about the state of the existing RBNB data before appending).

- ''__Note:__'' Don't try to read too much into these plots--data were collected indoors, from hardware that was occasionally moved about, powered off, etc. DatToRBNB.java and the RBNBToKepler2 actor were both being modified as well.
