++We recommend that the SP 16HR-3C be set to a gain of 24db and no higher than 250 Hz sampling rate unless there is an explicit reason to do so. The BD3C-5 should be set to a gain of 6db (which is the maximum allowed). These are what we use for our internal experiments.
++
++**Note that this gain must be removed when exporting to miniseed, **otherwise amplitudes will be a factor of either 15.84893192 (24db) or 2 (6db) too high. We also recommend disabling bluetooth to increase battery life, and to enable "FIFO" mode just in case old data is still present on the units and you run out of space (although it is unlikely you will go over 64 Gb for one deploy). If using the "timed turn-on" option, please be aware that **the units will not begin recording until they have acquired a GPS lock**, which may nor occur if they are buried too deeply or have very poor sky view.

++== Magnets ==
++
++If you are short on magnets, you may find it easier and a lot cheaper to buy magnets in Australia. AMF Magnetics is a good retailer, and [[this item>>https://magnet.com.au/collections/shop?q=23012B]] seems to work well. It is also advantageous to use smaller magnets and store/carry them individually in your back pocket (as well as stick them to various places in your field vehicle, etc).
++
++== Animal-Proofing ==
++
++We have experienced times where foxes (or some other animal) will dig up nodes and potentially carry them off for tens or hundreds of meteres. Being sanitary with the rope handles (e.g. not getting food grease on them) seems to help, as well as spraying the nodes and handles with methylated spirits et al. when deploying. There are other specialized products available depending on your environment.

--== Downloading and Converting Data to MiniSeed ==

--The first thing to do is to register the nodes in the system, so the software can recognize them. To do this, go to the folder where the “SmartSoloApps SoloLite” was installed. Then right-click the deviceconfig.exe program to “run as an administrator” and save the file to the directory of “deviceconfig” (snapshot below). Note that to avoid registering the same node twice, you can simply replace the file each time you do the registration.

--
--Then open the “SoloLite” software, and just go to “File” to make a new project. In this case, you do not need to find the exact 16 nodes that were grouped for script writing. Do not worry about the settings for the seismic recordings for the next window to pop up, as the only way to reset the instruments (e.g., sampling rate, gain etc) is to write script to re-program them.
--

--Once you create the new project, your Data Transfer View panel on the bottom right of the window will show these nodes that have properly connected to the data harvest, including series number, data size etc. It is okay if the “Prospect not matched”, which simply means the project you just created does not match the one you made to program them. Simply select all these nodes, and right click to “force download”, which will initiate the downloading process. Once they are done, you will see new folders created for each slot at your Downloaded Data panel on the top left of the window.

++# NOTES
++# the start/end time is not critical, but good to have. what IS critical are the times of instrument changes as this potentially affects response information
++# to mark equipment changes, add a new line with an updated start date (e.g. AKL05 above)
++# can use tabs or spaces, but spaces tend to look nicer. formatting ultimately doesn't matter too much so long as there is any sort of "white space" between the fields
++# if you don't know a serial number, put 999. if you don't know the elevation, put 0
++# for Nodes, put the same serial number for both Recoder and Sensor (since they are the same!)
++
++
++# EXAMPLE INSTRUMENT LABELS
++#LPR200 = ANU LPR-200 logger (beige box)
++#TSAWR = ANU TerraSAWR logger (yellow box)
++
++#TRILL120 = Trillium Compact 120s
++#TRILL20 = Trillium Compact 20s
++#TRILL120PH = Trillium Compact 120s PostHole
++#CMG6TD = Guralp 6TD
++#CMG3ESP = Guralp 3ESP
++#3DLITE = Lenarrtz 3D-LITE
++
++#SSNODE_C = output was in COUNTS (there is also SSNODE_MV, if you (accidentally!) output to millivolts etc)
++#SSNODE_5S = broadband (can also use SSNODE_BB)
++#SSNODE_.2S = shortperiod (can also use SSNODE_SP)
++
++#it doesn't matter too much what you use for equipment labels, so long as they are consistent and otherwise defined somewhere in the comments!
