What to bring
A checklist of items and software to have on hand when working with a SensorGnome
Before you visit a SensorGnome, it's important to have a few key items and software on hand or on your computer. Some of these are absolutely essential while others can save you time and headaches in the future if you already have them with you.
The following checklist is broken down by receiver type. Essential, or very important, items are indicated with solid circles while optional (but often useful) items are represented by hollow circles.
