###### tags: `CROMO-ADAPT` # Tajik Station # Questions - elevation angle of sat antennae from horiz or vertical - we think from vertical - check visibility (send range of coords to chasper) # software etc to take - logger code - pdf manuals # calibration of snow laser push calibration button in pc400 # test camera # monitor battary voltage # Sat phone number # Chaspers contact mobile +41 79 311 48 91 # test window Wednesday 10:30 - 11:30 joel at station # timezone utc +5 # Station build - sonic and young, climavue point S - sat antenae points SW - note t/rh position - soil temp not depths - rad arm south facing ## Deploying protocol 1. Assemble station! 3. Connect battery 4. Connect solar panel 5. plug in logger 6. orientation of sat antennae # connectivity cables needed micro usb ethernet angle protracter compass (order and angle one suunto) # transmission Modem is turn on: - Mon, wed, Fri - 10:30-11:30 UTC +5 # testing logger - connect usb (any port) - open pc400 - hit connect tab - monitor data tab - configure something? - add all variables to display (how?) - tip: by unplug/replug logger we generate a 15min modem window for testing # testing satelite * connect ethernet (either) * go to sat address 192.168.128.1 * get aspect/ elevation angle * stand a distance with compass ## Shipping ## Data collection protocol * preffered method remove sd card to avoid possible data corruption * just switch cards? ## logger notes ### laptop https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/acer-travelmate-spin-b3-1160-wxga-intel-celeron-n4120-4gb-notebook-13115015?gclid=CjwKCAjwwqaGBhBKEiwAMk-FtMkIDl8zOcB7YMy6fILVfGHbvw6cfo0O-YyVx-D5bc80XwfrxUUiWhoCotwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds ### software * https://www.campbellsci.eu/downloads/pc400 * register at eu site * product key sent by email ### Connecting 1. connect to logger via usb to ensure sat is on 2. connect to ethernet switch 3. go to satelitte address 4. check connectivity azimuth/ elevation of satellite 5. back to logger programme (pc400 from ) Time zone = UTC+5 ### logger 192.168.128.5 ### satellite 192.168.128.1 - at this address/ webpage can see aspect/ elevation of iridium sats ### Camera 192.168.128.6 - camera credentials: admin Tajik#2020 - 4 pictures per day - SD card storage - 14 months ### Notes pakbus = 5 logger overwrites -programmed like this but not tested hourly data of most fields transmitted in dataTransmit.dat ## Sensors (link to google doc here)
