2.5.2 Goes – Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites
With this setting selected, limited amounts of data collected during the hour will be dumped out the
PC/CLONE
and
AUX
serial ports as binary compressed data.
The GOES functionality enables the receiver to send data to a geostationary satellite so that the user can retrieve it
later from another location. This system has the advantage of working in remote locations not typically covered by
standard cell phone service providers.
To use GOES you first need an account with NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information
Service). You also need a GOES Transmitter. Both the SAT HDR GOES and TX312 models sold by Campbell
Scientific, Inc are compatible with the data protocol being sent out the
AUX
serial port. The data coming out the
PC/CLONE
port is standard RS232 with settings: “baud: 9600, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit”.
Screen 2
1200:
Informs the R4500C that the GOES satellite will be transmitting data back to Earth
at 1200 baud. This value is assigned by NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service).
300:
Informs the R4500C that the GOES satellite will be transmitting data back to Earth
at 300 baud. This value is assigned by NESDIS (National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service).
N/A:
Informs the R4500C that it doesn’t need to worry about the GOES transmission
rate. You would select this if you wanted to take advantage of the GOES data
format without actually using the GOES transmitter and setup.
