srvMetadataForReceivers: get the metadata for some receivers

In jbrzusto/motusClient: fetch data from the motus data server

Description

The receiver and antenna metadata are returned for any deployments of the specified devices for which the user has project permissions to, or which have made their receiver metadata public.

Usage

srvMetadataForReceivers(deviceIDs)

Arguments

deviceIDs

integer vector of motus receiver IDs

Value

a list with these items:

• recvDeps; a data.frame with these columns:

  • deployID; integer deployment ID (internal to motus, but links to antDeps)

  • projectID; integer ID of project that deployed the receiver

  • serno; character serial number, e.g. "SG-1214BBBK3999", "Lotek-8681"

  • receiverType; character "SENSORGNOME" or "LOTEK"

  • deviceID; integer device ID (internal to motus)

  • status; character deployment status

  • name; character; typically a site name

  • fixtureType; character; what is the receiver mounted on?

  • latitude; numeric (initial) location, degrees North

  • longitude; numeric (initial) location, degrees East

  • elevation; numeric (initial) location, metres ASL

  • isMobile; integer non-zero means a mobile deployment

  • tsStart; numeric; timestamp of deployment start

  • tsEnd; numeric; timestamp of deployment end, or NA if ongoing

• antDeps; a data.frame with these columns:

  • deployID; integer, links to deployID in recvDeps table

  • port; integer, which receiver port (USB for SGs, BNC for Lotek) the antenna is connected to

  • antennaType; character; e.g. "Yagi-5", "omni"

  • bearing; numeric compass angle at which antenna is pointing; degrees clockwise from magnetic north

  • heightMeters; numeric height of main antenna element above ground

  • cableLengthMeters; numeric length of coaxial cable from antenna to receiver, in metres

  • cableType: character; type of cable; e.g. "RG-58"

  • mountDistanceMeters; numeric distance of mounting point from receiver, in metres

  • mountBearing; numeric compass angle from receiver to antenna mount; degrees clockwise from magnetic north

  • polarization2; numeric angle giving tilt from "normal" position, in degrees

  • polarization1; numeric angle giving rotation of antenna about own axis, in degrees.

• projs; a list with these columns:

  • id; integer motus project id

  • name; character full name of motus project

  • label; character short label for motus project; e.g. for use in plots
