Collect data with Storm Central

Storm Central can also retrieve and display data from GOES Sites using WaterLog’s GOES data

formats. Decoding of both Psuedo-Binary and ASCII (SHEF) formats is fully supported. Setting up a

GOES Site is a simple process.

Log in to Storm Central and navigate to

Sites through the Administration link.

Press the ‘Add’ button at the bottom of

the Sites table to add a new Site. Under

the Site Setup screen for that Site, select

GOES as the Site Type.

Note: In order for Storm Central to accurately
retrieve and decode GOES data, all aspects of
the GOES transmission need to be configured.
The settings must match the data being retrieved
or the data decoding will fail. In addition to
the transmission settings, the number of Data
Columns must match the number of sensors
being retrieved.

Once the settings have been configured,

press the ‘Get Last Tx’ button to

validate the entered information. Storm

Central will attempt to retrieve the last

GOES transmission and decode the

data according settings. Data that is

successfully decoded will be displayed in

the Processed Data section further down

on the page. It will appear in a tabular

format identical to how it will display on

the Site Details page.

Note: Be sure to review this data carefully to
verify it is decoded correctly. If the data in the
Processed Data window is not correct, pressing
the Delete Last Tx button will remove the
displayed information from your Site’s data
storage.
