D. Review of Sensor Variable Data

  • Collection of device rescheduled to next telecon. Group will send device lists via email (mailinglist). Everyone has examples to contribute.
  • Is the approach with parameters good? little discussion: It is a starting point. Sensors have more information, but we will only concentrate on input and output variables. Also, sensors can work active or passive but have the same input/output (i.e. seismometer). We could add column for notes about different configurations
