Data Preview

  • It is now possible to annotate any branch of the Data Preview tree including search tree nodes, devices, and sensors. This is useful for posting status messages in the Data Preview display area. The usual data-related annotations will not appear.
    • When creating an annotation, select the search tree node, device, or sensor you want it to apply to. Note that the annotation will also appear on every branch below the one you annotate.
    • Select "Shared", and fill out the Data Preview comment section.
    • Select an appropriate date range. Note that the date range controls when the annotation appears. It relates to the date range of the data you are viewing. For example if the annotation applied for one day two weeks ago, it will not appear in the Day tab but will appear in the Month tab. The Summary tab shows all applicable annotations regardless of date range.
    • To cancel the annotation, either delete it (there is a link to it titled "More" where the annotation appears) or select a Date To in the past.
  • Added data preview plots for the inshore profiler in Saanich Inlet.

  • A new "Sort by" option has been added, called "Variables by Location". Some refer to this as a "primary sensor" search and is the same feature that was added to Plotting Utility a couple of months ago. You first select a location, then a variable (for example an ocean property such as Salinity). If there is more than one sensor at that location that can measure the same property, the sensor defined as the "primary sensor" will be used. This is the sensor that is the most accurate of the sensors available. It is possible that the primary sensor can change over the time range of a data product; the primary sensors used and their corresponding date ranges are listed in the metadata report as well as in the header of the data product or as colours in plots.
  • Search results will now remain in the search cart ("Step 3") for 14 days, after which they will automatically be removed from the cart. This matches the changes to the FTP storage made in the January 5 release.
  • Imagenex 881a products now make use of an orientation attribute so that the seabed will be located at the bottom of the plots or manufacturer's software. Formats affected: .81a/MAT/TXT files, PNG/GIF/AVI plots.
  • The ADCP (both RDI and Nortek) Daily Current Plot (PNG) now has options for the limits to be plotted; users can choose from a set of fixed limits or automatic. This allows plots to be compared when the automatic limit may vary: large time ranges over varying conditions or different devices. The automatic limit is based on the 5% and 95% percentile rounded outwards to the nearest fixed limit value.
  • Completed a new CSV engine to support variables by location search, which is also used for location and instrument searches (unifies the code base). Benefits include speed, future-proofing, among other various improvements.
  • Removed the deployment legend and markers in time series scalar plots to support variables by location search.

Data Preview

  • You can now open the Data Preview tree to any location or device or sensor, select the URL, and give that to someone else (for example) who can then automatically open Data Preview at this same location, including which tab you have selected (Summary, Day, or Month).
  • Removed devices from the tree that are not currently deployed and added devices that are deployed but that had been missing from the tree.
