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
