Verifying data retrieval

After setting up the SFTP server, verify data retrieval in CLI.

To check the status, type the status command in CLI.

status

A correctly set status does not include warnings in Reporting destination or Data sending. The following is an example status:

Data communication
  Measurement                     :0: OK
  Reporting destination           :0: OK
  Data generation                 :0: OK 0 files, status code 111
  Data sending                    :0: OK 0

Using an SSH/SFTP client, go to the location specified in Creating folder to SFTP server.
Confirm that netCDF files are generating to this location.
- Default sending interval is 5 minutes, a new file every 5 minutes.
- Default naming is live_<yyyymmdd>_<hhmmss>.nc.
The reporting parameters start with default values.

For more information on configuring parameters, as well as the netCDF file structure and contents, see CL61 User Guide (M212475EN).
Open a file and verify the data.

Use your preferred netCDF reader, for example Vaisala BL-View or Panoply (open source software made by NASA).
