Annex 6: Design of the ID Converter Table
The ID Converter table serves to transfer the datalogger IDs to official station identifiers. Due to memory alloca-
tion, the datalogger ID is a short integer between 1 and 254, which does not allow for proper station numbering in a
comprehensive hydrometeorological network.
The following screen presents the design of the ID Converter table.
The first field contains the datalogger ID, while the second stores the corresponding station ID: the official station
identifier assigned by the hydrometeorological service. The remaining fields are used for adding station specific
information. Their purpose is mainly to avoid confusion while adding records to the ID Converter table.
In data view, this table is shown below. The Uganda situation is presented on the screen below (note that the fourth
record has been added for the illustration purpose only).
For stations established by the FAO GCP/RAF/304/JPN and GCP/INT/752/ITA Projects in The Nile Basin, Add or
modify the records as appropriate, i.e. in accordance of the actual station ID and other data for each station.
