Change all logging data types to float16 #102

Closed amopremcak closed 7 years ago

amopremcak commented 7 years ago

I think we should change all logging data, e.g. Temperatures, Pressures, and Flow Rates, into float16 @roboguy222 & @nmGit . It will save disk space, a precious and non-renewable resource, and improve transfer speeds for datasets that span multiple weeks. We should also cut down the sampling rates of these variables as they do not change very rapidly. I don't know how to mark this as an enhancement, but if its not too much trouble it think its worth while.

Ok, the ADR controller is now in 16 bit.

Done with MView. Use the data_type keyword when creating a device to specify float16. Still defaults to float32 of the keyword is not used.
