Clarify how to choose which sensor to get info from

[kinow]

Hi,

I installed a SOS plugin in NIWA with a couple of DLL's sent to me by a co-worker. I believe this is the source code repository for those DLL's, so I am reporting the issue here. In case it doesn't make sense, and this is not the right repository, I apologise and ask to please ignore it :-)

I added two observable properties to my map, on top of a OpenStreetMap WMS. I can see the icons/markers on the map just fine. The issue is when I have icons that overlap on top of each other, and try to access the Sensor Info. I think the behaviour is not consistent, but I could also be doing something wrong.

In the following screen shots I am working with two observable properties that overlap. First I hide one (Red), so that I can filter the other one (Blue) and plot. That works OK.

Then I hide the Blue one, and display only the Red. And repeat the process to plot it.

But if I do not filter the layers, and instead display both...

If I do not change the filters, and plot everything, I get the plot from the first example above.

Same result if I uncheck the bottom time filters for the Blue one. On the other hand, if I check only the check box for the Red one...

I expected maybe to get the other plot... but instead I get an error message.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Cheers
Bruno

Hi

Thanks for the feedback, this is indeed the right place for issues related to the QGIS SOS plugin.

The data displayed has nothing to do with the state of the check boxes. The observable displayed is always the selected one (so the last one in your examples). If the check box is checked, a time filter is sent to the sos server, so only the records in that time frame are displayed. If the box is not checked, no time filter is sent to the sos server, requesting all the data. Some servers do not send any data without time filter if the amount of data would be very large. This is what happens in the last example.

Oh, got it @mhugent . So that's just for filtering. In that case, the error message I think makes sense. I am still not able to plot both time series when I click, unless I hide one of the layers. Or is there something else that I could do?

Not sure I understand what you mean with 'both time series'. After clicking 'display', there is a new tab created for each new time series.
Currently, I'm implementing the functionality to bring multiple time series into one tab.
