Use only standard names in the "measured parameters" section #43

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No problem - this is an enhancement suggestion.
2. Click on "measured parameters".
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
As noted in issues 40 and 23, the list of parameters is very long. One reason 
for this is that variables with both parameter names and standard names take up 
2 lines. Moreover, there is little use for both (see last comment in issue 40 - 
some parameter names cover almost as many platforms as the standard names), and 
using both is more confusing than anything. Something to consider would be to 
only use one button, labeled by standard names, and when they don't exist 
parameter name (can be identified by an asterisk next to the name for 
instance). This is an UI change, not a database change (that can still contain 
both). 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
any

Please provide any additional information below.
Note that the data extraction codes need to be able to identify if the 
selection is based on a standard name or parameter name.
