OPEC Open-Path Eddy-Covariance System To enable LoggerNet's data collection, click on the Status Monitor button in the Toolbar. Select the station and click on the "Toggle On/Off" button. The time of the next data collection will appear in the "Next Data Call" column (see FIGURE 4-4). To display additional station information, right click on any column header and then Select "Column...". For more information, see Section 6.1 Status in the LoggerNet manual. FIGURE 4-4. LoggerNet station status monitor 4.1.2 File Management with Baler The data is collected by LoggerNet and placed in the LoggerNet cache. Two instances of the Baler, one for the time series data and the other for the flux data, will pull the data from the cache and "bale" it into a user specified file size (see FIGURE 4-5 and FIGURE 4-6). Campbell Scientific recommends using a one hour bale size for time series data that will be post processed by EdiRe and a 1 day bale size for the flux data. To run more than one instance of the Baler, use the "/WorkDir=pathname" switch and two shortcuts, one for the time series data and the other for the flux data (see Section 6.5 in the Baler manual). TIP While the system is set up in the lab or outside near the lab, practice not only operating the system and data collection, but also file management and data processing. Only through this type of experimentation will you determine the file sizes and procedures that work best for you. 15
