I am thinking through the instrument timestamp issues we discussed on Friday and wanted to jot them down:
Approach | Pros | Cons | |
---|---|---|---|
0 | Don't support | Very easy | Puts everything on users; data unavailable for non-COMPASS folks |
1 | Just flag non-datalogger data | Easy for us | Users might miss documentation warnings about this |
2 | Adjust via technician-recorded instrument offset | Fairly easy for us; offset would be recorded in existing Exo and Troll inventory files | A pain for techs; potentially fragile |
3 | Document offset | Fairly easy for us; users can decide if they want to adjust based on reported instrument timestamps | Requires change in loggernet code; computationally non-trivial for users |
4 | Figure out offset algorithmically | If datalogger reports instrument timestamp, we can (probably) reconstruct offsets for orphaned data | Requires change in loggernet code; computationally non-trivial on the L1 processing side |
