If the GOES Time is not displayed or not incrementing every second as expected, the radio has not acquired time from the GPS system. This is common at initial power up.
  • Page 71 Preamble: At the beginning of each transmission, a preamble signal is sent to the satellite. The preamble is a carrier signal with no data modulation. This allows the satellite to lock on to the signal easier. A short or long preamble is available, short being the default. Long preambles are only valid for 100 baud transmissions.

  • Page 72: Self-Timed Data Settings

    Self-Timed Data Settings Data Layout: Data for a GOES transmission can have a number of different layouts. Two current options are available on the System 5000: Default and Canada. The Default layout is the same that all WaterLOG data loggers use (specifically the XL series).
  • Page 73 Send SHEF Headers: The system uses this option to see if SHEF codes are to be included in the data transmission. SHEF stands for Standard Hydrometeorological Exchange Format. This is a documented set of rules for coding of data in a form for both visual and computer recognition. The SHEF code is typically a two character code that represents the data.
  • Page 74 Append Battery Scan: This option allows one battery reading to be appended to the data being transmitted. If the DAA H-2221 GOES Radio is being used, the lowest battery reading of either a current battery measurement or the battery reading during the previous transmission (of the loaded battery) will be used.

  • Page 75: Self-Timed Data Setup

    Self-Timed Data Setup The Data Setup screen is determined by the data format selected within the Data Settings screen. Two available formats are available for transmissions, SHEF (ASCII) and Pseudo-Binary. SHEF (ASCII) Data Format Pseudo-Binary Data Format Both screens share the majority of options with only a few specifics detailed below. Common to both are the following options: Tx Buffer: Displays the approximate used and total number of bytes available for the transmission.
  • Page 76 well as other Data Settings such as Redundant Data Sets, SHEF Headers, and whether a Battery Scan is going to be appended. If the total buffer size is exceeded, the used number will be highlighted in red. Excess data is truncated to the maximum allowed in order for a transmission to still be sent and not overlap another transmission (or trip the failsafe).
  • Page 77 screen, the SHEF Headers option may need to be enabled within Data Settings. Left of the Decimal: Sets the number of digits to display to the left of the decimal. The user can choose a data display format for each GOES data value transmitted. The format indicates how many digits should be displayed on each side of the decimal point.
  • Page 78 Precision: Defines the number of digits to the right of the decimal point that should be preserved. For example, a water level value in meters will still require millimeter resolution. Setting the precision to 3 would allow this. On the other hand, if a Task measuring wind direction returns only whole numbers, the number of digits needed would be zero.
