245 +== Connection tips: ==
246 +
247 +Connecting SmartSolo nodes to their harvesters and having SoloLite recognise them can be a bit tricky, here are some tricks to help register and program them easier:
248 +
249 +* Place the node on the harvester gently, then firmly press it down onto the pins.
250 +* Place all nodes onto the harvester before trying any troubleshooting, as they may not show up while the SoloLite software is running. Once all are connected, try restarting the software for them to be recognised.
251 +* If a node is refusing to connect, try it with another slot. It is easiest if you place all 16 nodes on the harvester, and swap any nodes that refuse to connect with each other.
252 +* Nodes will likely not show up in the order that they should, though this is not an issue. E.g, a node in slot 6 on the harvester may show up in port 13 in the SoloLite software. Annoying, but it doesn't matter so long as you keep track of what's been harvested!

274 +== File structure ==
275 +
276 +There are essentially three main folders where relevant PROSPECT and PROJECT DATA is stored. Individual projects will be found as subfolders in these.
277 +
278 +=== SOLOLITE ===
279 +
280 +This folder stores SoloLite config files and parameters. Nothing too important stored here, you can always start over and re-create this.
281 +
282 +=== DCCDATA ===
283 +
284 +This folder stores the RAW data you have harvested from the nodes. The data will still be on the nodes (unless you erased it) in case of emergency, but regardless, this is the folder you want to back up and save somewhere.
285 +
286 +If you had a weird time harvesting a node, you can always manually copy it as if it were a USB stick and place it into this folder manually. The structure is: //C:/DCCDATA/prospect_name/project_name/SERIALNUMBER/label(usually a timestamp but can be anything)//
287 +
288 +Then in the SoloLite software, go to tools > Reanalyze Seismic Data
289 +
290 +=== SOLODATA ===
291 +
292 +This folder stores **exported** (e.g. miniseed) data. It is structured similarly. If your DCCDATA is intact, this can always be re-created if need be.

319 +== Smart Solo Z Polarity bug (SP nodes ONLY!) ==
320 +
321 +See [[https:~~/~~/auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/view/Data/AusPass%20Data/#HSmartSoloNodeZPolaritybug>>https://auspass.edu.au/xwiki/bin/view/Data/AusPass%20Data/#HSmartSoloNodeZPolaritybug]] for discussion. If data is headed to AusPass, we prefer to invert the IGU-16HR 3 Z channel data manually rather than in the SoloLite software or inverting the response metadata. **The BD3C-5 data does not require a polarity inversion.**
322 +
323 +== 18 Leap Second bug ==
324 +
325 +Not so much a bug as much as "a thing that can happen if your SoloLite installation is corrupted". If you notice your data has large time offsets, you should suspect that the number of leap seconds has not been accounted properly. There is a file "smartsoloconfig.xml" that needs to be present in "C:\SmartSoloApps SoloLite" (e.g. the main program directory) that dictates the leap second offset for the last two data ranges. Since 2017-01-01, this is 18 seconds.
326 +
327 +If this file is missing, just create a new one structured like so, name it "smartsoloconfig.xml" and put it in your main program directory. Then, Reanalyze your data (tools > Reanalyze seismic data) and your data should have the correct time. You can also do this manually, if you want. The offset is 18 seconds precisely.
