We've got these data loggers working with the Microhard static IP modems and are wondering if anyone has a SODA driver.  OPG runs a lot of these loggers and might have one on their WISKI system.

Sure Holly no problem. Can you give me some more information? Namely:
1. Does this station have any other data associated with it? If not, you could simply rename the old Station to meet the new criteria.
2. Is the new Station assigned to be a WQ station in the station characteristics? If not, please turn that on.

With that said, if you're looking for a comprehensive grab of all the data and metadata, I'd recommend exporting the data out as a CSV (takes about 2 minutes) using all the columns you're interested in. Save that Export configuration, as you can re-use it for the Import.
Bulk change the Site / Station Name / Station Number as needed to meet the new Station info.
Re-import, using the Export configuration to pull in whatever data you decided to bring along.

All in all this should take about 10 minutes or so - if you run into issues please let me know.

Cheers,

Hi Steve,

Can you point me to any guidance that would help me to move water quality data from an old station to a new one? I'm just getting started on this aspect of our data so I don't have a lot of experience. I did find the KISTERS KiWQM manual from 2012 (KiWQM Concept and Tutorials), bu didn't find an answer to my question.

Thank you,

Perfect! Could you use the "mark thread as resolved" button to indicate that this is topic has been cleared? It helps me sleep at night .

Hi,
I contacted Kisters support and they have helped me to fix the problem, turns out it was just a few boxes that needed to be unchecked.
thanks for the advice.
Cheers,

Hi Stacey,

The person that knows the most about connecting IP modems is either Chris McGuire (MVCA) or Brandon. I'd try Chris first if you can, as he's gone through the whole process fairly recently. I'll follow up with an email to you with his information.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads up here - if you change to the GOES platform from any other telemetered logger, you need to update the Timezone of the Time Series to reflect those changes. Typically you're setting the time series timezone to Eastern (UTC - 5), but the GOES platform does not use a shift (i.e. UTC 0).

Best practices here are to deactivate your old import agent and add a note indicating that this was the old telemetered station agent. Then add a new, active import agent with the updated GOES exchange number and timezone fields.

Credit to Mark Helsten and Scott Drebit for this one.

Hi Holly,

I I sent over a copy of all the webscrapes that we've developed so far to Massimo after we spoke about the list you had generated. I think the plan is to compare what we've already created to the list you generated.

That said, I don't think this RT site is on there - I'll start a discussion for the Eastern hub for how to proceed with the missing sources, and check in with the other groups to see what they've got.

Cheers,

Steve

Awesome, thanks Holly!

Iryna, can you take a look and mark this thread as complete if Holly's approach will work for you?

Cheers,

Steve

@SteveWKISTERS  May be able to help or you will need to talk to Brandon at Kisters to get this sorted out.

Also, please include your name at the end of your posts so that everyone knows who you are
