31 -GPS is required for the data to have accurate timestamps. A standard 3-5V 1575.42 Mhz coaxial "dongle" antenna works fine and can be found for relatively cheap (e.g. [[https:~~/~~/www.elecbee.com/en-3555-gps-antenna-bnc-male-for-garmin-gps-120120xl125-sounder-with-cable-2m) >>https://www.elecbee.com/en-3555-gps-antenna-bnc-male-for-garmin-gps-120120xl125-sounder-with-cable-2m]]. Anything that locates satellites and gives you a GPS-synced time works!

41 41  The loggers can be "pre-programmed" with information (e.g. site name, sampling rate, etc) or they can be programmed in the field using the buttons on the logger. To pre-program the cards you simply edit a text file (named "[[ANUSRSetup.txt>>http://auspass.edu.au/field/ANUSRSetup.txt]]" for the LPRs, or "[[tSAWRSetup.txt>>http://auspass.edu.au/field/tSAWRSetup.txt]]" for the TerraSAWRs) and place it in the root directory on the SDCard. When the logger boots up, it will parse and load this information.
