Brief Method Summary
|
This test method is applicable where remote interrogation of water level or discharge is required. Procedures described in Test Method A are generally used to set these devices to the correct datum. Devices described in this section may be accessories to devices described in Test Method B. Remote interrogation devices may be nonrecording, or may be able to store and then transmit data collected over a period of time. Remote interrogation may be by telephone, direct wire, satellite, radio, or meteorburst transmission. Information on transmission or receiving equipment and procedures is not included in the test method. |
