Details

This issue is related to the new hardware tile format which is described in /rst/tables/superdarn/hdw/README.txt The discussion started in https://github.com/SuperDARN/rst/pull/455 and now is being moved here in order to expedite approval and implementation of the proposed format changes.

Back in August I have some comments and suggested changes to the readme content but failed to share them. Please see those attached. In general, there are several mute points like, e.g., array normal/center beam/boresight definitions, which need to be clarified. Also, having comments embedded into field descriptions looks a bit out of place, and there are some duplicates like "20) Analog attenuation stages (Number of stages. "

Would this not be best on the hdw github repo?

In our docs we just link to that repo, be nice to keep all the documentation there.

@pasha-ponomarenko @ecbland thoughts?

If its there then any DAWG or DVWG made add it in. I know for DVWG we just point to the hardware files for extra information.

@pasha-ponomarenko are you willing to write this up?
