RSandB 20s Filter Metadata

Technical Support
1

I just recently changed my RS&B over to the 20s filter. I have changed the filter selction in the RS.LOCAL settings as well.

I was curious to see if it might be possible to tell if a Boom or S&B had the 20s filter installed from the inventory command, so had a look in the metadata for my station. I can’t see any information in the metadata that would tell me if the boom had a 20s filter, however, the resourceID data quotes “1s” which I assume would refer to the 1s filter. See the screen shot below:

Should this now be showing “20s” instead of “1s” now that I have the 20s filter installed? … or am i misinterpreting this?

It looks like the metadata hasn’t updated since the restart at 22/02/12 09:46:05.

Should it have created a new epoch when I restarted with the 20s filter, or is that not a significant enough change to warrant it?

OK… I checked on another S&B and found it’s resourceID contained 20s, so I think my hypothesis that the 1s is 1 second and 20s is 20 second filters looks good.

I just saved and restarted the RS&B again and still the epoch did not update/change - it still says 1s, and the date of the start of the epoch hasn’t changed.

mine:

there is a setup screen somewhere in which you can indicate the filter installed.
that should change the instrument response XML file

Yes, I know. Been there and done it twice just to test.

It doesn’t change the metafile, so I assume it’s either a bug or not considered a significant enough change to warrant a change to the metafile on it’s own.

Hello sheeny,

Firstly, thanks for pointing out this discrepancy in the metadata between the two BOOM sensor filters.

I have passed this to our server team (to see if something there is causing the issue), and they are looking into it.

I’ll update you as soon as I have news.
