In setting up these arrays, care was presumably taken to get the cabling right, so that we're also confident of the mapping from serial port to location during those configurations.

The archive will contain the results of the rserial sessions that were done to show the sonic serial numbers, and this can be used to confirm the sensor id to serial number mapping. These serial number messages, by sensor id will be available soon.

Possible Cross-cabling in Wide Array

...

First, the serial number to sensor id relation can be read from the data archive, since the rserial output is archived. The serial number messages from the archive of the wide array are shown here, with their sample times:

Assuming Tom progressed through the serial ports in order, they show the serial number sequence to be 744, 745, 376, and not 745, 376, 744. The sensor ids are also in time order: 2040, 2050, 2060, and the mapping of sensor id to serial number matches the intended configuration, and not the crossed configuration.

...

The data is a bit noisy during the wide array, but it seems quite certain that the relation of serial number to sensor id did not change:
