<h4>Deployments</h4>
<p>PAMGuard will have done it's best to work out the temporal extent of your data by looking in the
<a href="../../generalDatabaseHelp/docs/database_database.html">PAMGuard database</a> and
<a href= "../../BinaryStore/docs/binarystore_overview.html">binary Store</a>. Where data were collected on a regular duty
cycle, or continuously, there should be a single record in the table of recording periods. If data were collected on a more
"ad-hoc" basis, for instance during a boat-based survey, there might be many different records in the table.
Occasionally, there may be short recording periods (e.g. while you were testing kit on deck) that you don't want to export. Either select
individual rows that you want to export, or right click on the table and "Select All".</p>
<p>Press the "Export..." button and work through the questions to provide additional information about your data, why it was collected, etc. </p>
<p>Once the document(s) have been exported, the document names will be shown alongside each PAMGuard deployment period</p>
<center><img src="./images/deploymentspanel.png"></center>
<p>
Tethys uses deployment records to register information about
when instruments have been deployed as well as their
characteristics. Examples of characteristics that are recorded
include sample rate and the number of quantization bits,
description of duty cycles (if applicable), hydrophone geometry,
and enough details to be able find calibration data for specific
hydrophones.
</p>
<p>
PAMGuard will examine the
<a href="../../generalDatabaseHelp/docs/database_database.html">PAMGuard
database</a>
and <a href="../../BinaryStore/docs/binarystore_overview.html">
binary Store</a> to determine what records should be generated for
your instrumentation.
</p>
<h4>Detections</h4>
<p>The bottom left panel shows a list of different types of PAMGuard data that can be exported and should also show the total numbers of each type of data that are available
within the PAMGuard storage systems. Select the datablock you want to export from and press "Export...". </p>
<p>
Where data were collected continuously or on a regular duty
cycle, PAMGuard will create a single deployment record. If data
were collected on a more "ad-hoc" basis, where the instrument has
been deployed multiple times or has irregular recording, PAMGuard
will generate a deployment record for each period of recording.
</p>
<p>
The figure below shows an example of ad-hoc recording periods
identified by PAMGuard:
</p>
<center><img src="./images/deploymentspanel.png"></center>
<p>
Occasionally, there may be short recording periods (e.g. while
you were testing kit on deck) that you do not want to export. Use
the select checkbox to pick all of the rows that you wish to
export, or right click on the table and "Select All."
</p>
<p>
When one or more deployment records are selected, the
"Export..." button will become available. Selecting the export
button will start a dialog that asks for additional information
about the deployments and then write records to Tethys.
</p>
<p>
The first page of the dialog asks for the project and geographic
region which will be automatically populated if they have been
previously specified. In addition, the following fields are
requested:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Cruise name - Optional name of the deployment cruise</li>
<li>Site - Case-sensitive name for the deployment site,
e.g. "Tanner Banks" or a letter designation "T". This can
provide a simple way to identify multiple deployments at the
same general location.
</li>
<li>Responsible Party - A set of fields describing who was
responsible for the deployment and how they may be
contacted.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The next page of the dialog asks whether you would like to
export a single deployment document or multiple deployments.
<strong>todo: add more detail here</strong>
</p>
<p>
Finally, you are prompted to provide optional textual descriptions of:
<ul>
<li> Objectives - What were your objectives when deploying the
instrument? Example: Determine population estimates for
critically endangered populations of vaquita (<em>Phocoena
sinus</em>).
</li>
<li> Abstract - A textual description of the deployment.
Example: A set of high frequency recorders were deployed across the
northern portion of the Sea of Cortez in the historical range
of the vaquita (<em>Phocoena sinus</em>). These recordings will
support detection and density estimation efforts.
</li>
<li>
Method - A description of the methods used. Example:
Small boat deployment of bottom moored SoundTrap recorders
with acoustic releases.
</li>
</ul>
Press Finish to export the records. Once the
document(s) have been successuflly exported, the document name
associated with each recording period will be shown in the
Tethys Deployment column.
</p>
<h4>PAMGuard data blocks</h4>
<p>
The bottom left panel shows a list of different types of
PAMGuard data that can be exported. The data in this list
correspond to the various PAMGuard modules that have been
configured. See the
<a href="../../../overview/PamMasterHelp/docs/modelViewer.html">
data model viewer</a>
help for an example of how PAMGuard might be configured.
</p>
<p>
In the sample data blocks image below, four modules have been
configured, but only one of them has been run. Column "N Pam
Data" indicates the number of data records that have been
produced, and "PAMGuard Time" tells us when the data were
processed. "Tethys Documents" indicates how many Tethys records
have been produced, and should be 0 until the data are exported.
</p>
<div>
<img src="./images/data_blocks.png" class=".center"/>
</div>
Select the data blocks to be exported by clicking on them.
Multiple lines can be selected by using keyboard modifiers such as
holding the shift while clicking to select all data blocks between
the last clicked block and where you click. Holding the alternate
(ALT) key will allow selection or de-selection of a single item
without affecting the selection state of other blocks.
<em>
SUGGESTION: It looks like we have to highlight these by clicking
on them. As we use select boxes for recording periods, we might
want to do the same thing here... We might want to rename
N PAM Datas to N PAM Data as data are already plural.
</em>
</p>
and should also show the total
numbers of each type of data that are available within the
PAMGuard storage systems. Select the datablock you want to export
from and press "Export...". </p>
<p><strong>You really don't want to try to export zillions of data to Tethys</strong> , in the options that will appear you can opt to just export certain types of detections
or summary counts.</p>
