The 2m licor connected to /dev/ttyS2 was removed today.The , and the licors at 16 and 43 meters were reconnected to ports
/dev/ttyS11 ttyS17 and /dev/ttyS17, but we're not sure at this point
which was connected to which port. Perhaps we can query the
serial numbers to determine which is where.

Used

ttyS11 by a BEACHON helper.

By checking the serial numbers, with the (Coef ?) command, and comparing against the earlier LICOR log entry, we could determine remotely what unit is connected to what port. Note that the licors at 16 and 43 meters are switched from the previous configuration. command to determine the serial numbers:

either 16 or 43 meters, need to verify 43m

The data system from the time the licors on port 11 and 17 were enabled on Dec 2, until the next morning, Dec 3 at 10:26 AM MST was configured in the old way, so the data from the licor on port 17, SN 1167 was given an id of 1,310, and the data from the licor on port 11, SN 1164 was given an id of 1,510. So the licor data at 43 meters and 16 meters is cross-identified during that time period.

Basic 7500 configuration:

Code Block
(Outputs (RS232 (EOL "0A") (Labels FALSE) (DiagRec FALSE) (Ndx FALSE) (Aux FALSE) (Cooler FALSE) (CO2Raw TRUE) (CO2D TRUE) (H2ORaw TRUE) (H2OD TRUE) (Temp  TRUE) (Pres TRUE) (DiagVal TRUE)))

...

This resulted in around 400-500 spurious interrupts/sec being reported in /var/log/isfs/kernel. The system is keeping up, top shows an idle value of ~ 70%.
Current Here are the current values from /proc/tty/driver/serial, so it appears that the framing errors are not being generated . The number of framing errors is staying steady at this baud rate.:

Testing at FLAB

We've attempted to simulate the turbulence tower data acquisition configuration at FLAB, with an adam sampling 5 CSAT3 sonics at 20Hz and 1 Licor 7500 whose transmit and signal ground lines are forked to 5 separate serial ports. There is no GPS, CNR1, barometer or 5 TRHs on the test adam. We see no spurious interrupts, and the data system is keeping up with the 1x5 Licor set to 20Hz, 19200 baud. top shows a system idle value between 97 and 80%.
top on the adam at the turbulence tower shows 65-79 % idle. Other than the additional low rate serial sensors there is no difference between the 2 systems. They are both writing the full archive to a usbdisk.
