Project Deliverable D50 Report on Best Practices ... - ESONET NoE

Since September 2005:
All the output off all sensors are readout every 3 minutes and stored in the
database in a special “RawData” table.
At the same time, a parser reads this table to fill different tables dedicated to
each sensor, storing the data timestamp, the parameter values and the reference of
the line from where it was extracted from the RawData table.
The typical flow is of 12500 new lines in RawData table per hour (one line per
oceanographic sensor and other slow control information).
All these data are processed in quasi real time.
Current procedure :
− Each sensor was calibrated before deployment.
− The acquisition of the oceanographical data is synchronized with the
ANTARES acquisition data.
− The data readout method depends on connection type of the sensors :
For most of the sensors, the connection is done by a serial link RS232.
For them, the data measurement and their recording is done by slow control
request.
The IP camera and the seismometer have an autonomous Ethernet
connection.
The IODA has its own system of internal data acquisition and buffering.
Those data are then send to shore by the Slow Control.
