Hi,
i would like to seek for help regarding one of my shakes. Based on xml file, this shake have one channel “SHZ” instead of “EHZ,ENE,ENN,ENZ” . How can i fix this? i tried to reflash the memory card but it doesn’t fix the issue. Ill attach the xml file here for your reference

Hello waw,
This is happening because there are two Shakes with the R6A6F name, one (the older RS1D model) with the SHZ channel, and your newer RS4D.
The StationCode is generated automatically by using the last 4 digits of the Raspberry Pi computer’s unique hardware address (commonly referred to as the “MAC” address) and appending them to the letter “R”. In some instances, two devices may have the same code, so what happens when a StationCode has already been assigned?
From our manual Naming convention page (Raspberry Shake Station Naming Convention ):
[…] it can happen that when a new Shake connects to the network, its StationCode has already been taken in the past by another Shake. In this case, in place of the letter “R”, the system will use the letter “S”. This is our failsafe to guarantee that there is no data mix and/or overlap with previously existing instrument data. If even the StationCode with the letter “S” has been already taken, then the system will cycle through the entire alphabet: “S” → “Z”, “Z” → “A”, “A” → “R”.
For your situation, you will then need to search for S6A6F (I’m adding the instrument response file link for your convenience: https://data.raspberryshake.org/fdsnws/station/1/query?level=resp&network=AM&station=S6A6F) and you’ll be able to find it on StationView/DataView and our other services.
Future Shake OS versions will be able to automatically detect this, providing our users an immediate confirmation of their Shake network code.
If you have any other questions, I remain available.
