MATROOS data retrieval settings

Parameters

The MATROOS data retrieval settings module lists the parameters to be passed to MATROOS to retrieve certain predictions. It is available via the Settings main menu item and MATROOS sub menu. Here the parameters are listed that are to be passed when MATROOS is polled. The parameters that are to be passed depend on the MATROOS interface that is called.

get_series

When a call is made to the get_series interface, the following parameters should be passed (an example is given between brackets):

• source (rws_prediction)
• loc (hoekvanholland)
• unit (waterlevel)

These parameters should be added in a standard URL manner, for example:

?loc=hoekvanholland&source=rws_prediction&unit=waterlevel

PROTIDE automatically adds start and stop times according to the given forecast and historical periods. On every poll, the data is stored in the selected data setting.

PROTIDE automatically adds start and stop times according to the given forecast and historical periods and adds the given x and y coordinates (epsg:23031 coordinate system). On every poll, the data is stored in the selected data setting.
