1. Prep trolley

5. Periodic sensor calibrations
- calibrate sonic (in lab, special D37 cable, paths u,v,w)
- calibrate TCM (on cable, special Amp cable, "C", move around, "c")
- sometime, should have our cal lab recalibrate the SHT

- check data being archived (cd $RAWDATADIR; ls -l)
- enable Lambda output; set voltage (~32V); set current limit (~9A)
- rs U3; check data coming in; "S" to stop; wait for GPS lock ("A" in message); "G" to go
