@roylrich @wilsonsj100 Do you know what's up with those initial "A" and "B" tables, and then it becomes "C" for the result of time? Can we simply ignore/delete them?

wilsonsj100 commented 9 months ago

I am not sure - that might be a @roylrich question....

So these are the same data tables just signify a different SDI12 address for aquatrolls, it is just that we have the ability to add more modules to each logger if possible (say we wanted to put more wells in). I can manually turn these tables on with flags but they automatically turn each on based on which pakbus they are. Does this make sense. If data exists, it can be combined among a,b,c for now for each logger for now

You can check if data is NAN, which is likely on those tables

roylrich commented 9 months ago

Only one of these tables has any real data

bpbond commented 9 months ago

I don't totally understand but yes, the A and B tables just have NANs. So I'm going to ignore them. Thank you!
