When the Processed Data appears
correct, your GOES Site setup is
complete. GOES Data will continue to be
retrieved based on the Transmit Rate and
Transmit Offset intervals specified for the
Site.
GOES data generally does not include
any type of date or time associated to the
data values. Storm Central timestamps
each piece of data according to the time
the transmission arrived, which is based
on Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
In most cases, the data logger’s time zone
is not UTC. As such, a Timestamp Offset
field is available to shift the timestamps
of the data being collected back to
resemble that of the data logger. For
example, to shift the timestamp of the
data back six hours, the Timestamp Offset
would be set to 06:00:00. The effects of
the Timestamp Offset field can be easily
tested by pressing the Get Last Tx button
to see its effects on the timestamps
associated with the data.
