Download the Work Breakdown Schedule (XLS) - (22.0 KB)

1.   Create a new folder scheme for K:\HOBO Data
          1. Backup the old folder scheme. Copy contents of K:\HOBO Data\ and paste it into
a backup folder
          2. Create folders for the years, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 in K:\HOBO Data\
          3. Create individual month folders for all previous data inside the year folders
                  4. Make sure month folders are in numerical order. Add the month number
(Example: 01 - Jan)
          5. Move data from old folders into the new folder scheme (Leave old
scheme in backup)
 2.  Put the two non-working HOBO devices into commission
          1. Either fix the devices or write up a cost estimate to replace the devices
          2. If fixed or replaced, update the devices using the BoxCar Pro software
                  3. Update the new devices so that they download data every 30 minutes
                  4. Update the descriptions for each new device
 3.  Create a map of the library that pinpoints the HOBO device locations
          1. Create or obtain a map of the library
          2. Determine the locations and names of the devices
          3. Draw the device locations on the map including the exact device names
(found in BoxCar)
 4.  Develop documentation for downloading the data off the HOBO devices
          1. Go through the downloading process and write down every step (take screenshots)
                  2. Download the data from the devices to the HOBO Shuttle
                  3. Create the new folder for the current month in the current year folder
                  4. Using the BoxCar Pro software, download the data from the HOBO Shuttle
                  5. Export the data to an Excel Spreadsheet, saving it into the new month folder
                  6. Move the Autosaved BoxCar.dtf files (in K:\HOBO Data\) to the
new month folder
          7. Prepare the documentation in both electronic and print format
          8. Have the documentation reviewed by Pam
 5.  Write documentation for the procedure that extracts the out of range data points
          1. Determine an algorithm or method for extracting the out of range points
                  2. The algorithm must put the out of range points, for all devices, on one sheet
                  3. Out of range points must be associated to their corresponding download
time and device
          4. Test the algorithm using test data
          5. Review this algorithm with Pam to see if it meets the requirements
          6. If it does not, determine a new algorithm and repeat task 5.1. If it does,
document every step
          7. Prepare the documentation in both electronic and print format
          8. Have the documentation reviewed by Pam
 6.  Completely run through all procedures and documentation to ensure functionality
 7.  Have Pam run through all procedures to ensure they are easy to follow
 8.  If necessary, make changes to the documentation
