Early in the project For the wide array, from Jun 26 to Jul 18, there is some confusion about the bottom level downwind sonics sonic anemometers on towers 4, 5 and 6. The variable names from these sonics have suffixes of 4b, 5b and 6b, indicating what tower they were on.
...
The samples are archived with the sensor ids, so after the data has been sampled, knowing the relation between the location and the sensor id is the most critical.critical, and is what needs to be determined for these sonics.
So far nothing has indicated any error in We generally believe that Kurt's setup notes of the relation between location and serial number are correct.
The configuration of the later arrays also confirms Kurt's notes for the wide array, since because when the sonics were moved to the medium and narrow arrays, care was taken to keep them in their respective locations.
...
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

, Tom used rserial to record the relation between sonic serial numbers at each serial port and serial number for the wide array, and noted the following results:
