In year 2, 8 new stations were installed in the Ontario. All of the new stations were powered by DC (solar panels).
On each installation, a temporary station code is used for a few hours during which the station data are kept in temporary ringbuffers. The temporary station is then closed and new ringbuffers are issued with the registered station code. Details are shown in table, belolw.
