The DES field is a required field for station data residing on the system. It is possible to
create station data within OTM that has no DES field value (this 1–6 character
designator value can be assigned through the Administration feature of the Features
function in Station Administration). In such cases, OTM attempts to assign the first 6
characters of the Location value to DES. If this value contains non-alphanumeric values
OTM leaves the DES field blank (location can contain all Windows-acceptable
characters, but DES can have only letters and numbers).
Any station with no DES value causes an error during transmission of OTM data to the
system. The Validation utility checks the DES and any other field values that can cause
transmission failures. Refer to “Station data validation” on page 389.
Station data retrieved from a system always has a DES value.
The station database contains one record per station. Some of the field values in a record
depend on the system properties, the instrument used, and which features and options
are enabled. In addition, the OTM application contains “rules” that define possible
values, sizes, and ranges for the fields.
The Station Administration module includes a Validation utility that checks that the
values assigned to certain fields are compatible with the configuration and the OTM data
rules.
The Validation function checks the currently selected station records in the Station list
view before uploading to the system. There are two options—partial and full validation.
Full validation checks every field and may require considerable time.
You can validate the data for each station individually using the Validate function key
on the set dialog box. This button examines the entries for the current open station only.
Any errors are noted. Perform a Station Validation to capture any data entry issues that
may result in a transmission error when synchronizing with the system.
