Changing from ANY logger type to GOES - Mandatory Time Change Update

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.
