Allow gas standards or other calibrations to change during a dataset #2584

Open squaregoldfish opened 1 year ago

squaregoldfish commented 1 year ago

We shouldn't allow a dataset to be created if it will overlap a change in gas standards, sensor calibrations, or other parameters. It can seriously mess up the calibrations when they get interpolated.

Similarly we should work out what to do if you add a gas standard in the middle of an existing dataset in the editor.

This won't work for NRT datasets. How should they be dealt with?

Maybe they should be allowed to change, although the metadata would be a mess. Coding wise it's not too hard - for any given thing that needs calibrating, get the newest before the value time instead of the newest before the dataset (with suitable caching, obviously).

We will allow it, except for calculation coefficients. All calibrations must be included in the export manifest.
