| whole table |
This table contains programming metadata for early generation (PAT1 thru PAT5) satellite tagged fishgroup animals. Typically joins will be made to the fgsdkey field. All date fields should be converted from type text to date or timestamp. |
| acctime |

| argosid |
The Argos PTT number for the tag. |
| bin_id_d |
Integer ID that links to tblprogbins_depth in order to retrieve bin values. |
| bin_id_t |
Integer ID that links to tblprogbins_temp in order to retrieve bin values. |
| bobbin |
What type of bobbin is on the tag? Generally either black or orange. |
| dart |
What type of dart was used, e.g., deck, nylon, OTS titanium. |
| datainterval |
The histogram data summarization interval in hours. The name changes to samphistogram in tblmk10programming. A commonly used variable. |

| daystorelease |
The number of days after which the tag will release. Measured from tag activation/deployment date. |

A string concatenation of the depth bin fields. |
| depthcorr |
Never used. Duplicate of depthcorrection. Should be deprecated. |
| depthcorrection |
Will a correction be applied to the depth data. |
| fgsdkey |
This field should be called eventid. It joins to fgsdkey in tblfgsatdeployments, fgdkey in tblfgprocessingstatus and fgsdkey in tblfgsatrecovery as well as any other place eventid works for satellite tags. |
| float |
Style of the float. Probably not necessary. Also a bad name related to reserved names. Candidate for deprecation. |

| localdate |
Local date of programming. |
| _localtime |
Local time of programming. |
| memallocarchkb |
Amount of flash memory to allocate for storage of archival data. |

| offsett |
Time offset from UTC for histogram sampling period. Affects PDT data period also. |
| pinintact |
Was the bobbin pin undamaged? |
| pintype |
What style of pin is in the tag, e.g., monel. |
| popdate |
The programmed popup date. |
| poptime |
The programmed time of popup. Defaults to 12:00. |
| predetectdepth |
Not used. Duplicate of prematdepth. The minimum depth to start premature release detection. |
| prematdayspr |
Number of days prior to to death of the organism to assign a higher priority to the data, or None. |
| prematdepth |
The minimum depth to start premature release detection. |
| premathours |
Consecutive hours at constant depth before premature release is initiated. |
| prematoutliers |
Allow a few outliers in the constant depth data? |
| prematsurface |
Does the tag have to be at surface to initiate premature release? |
| progcomments |
Any comments not covered by other fields. |
| progdateon |
Date the tag will be active if ProgDelay was set to Y. |
| progdelay |
Whether or not the tag was programmed to delay recording. |

| project |
Rarely used. Totally unnecessary. Should be deprecated. |
| pstdate |

| psttime |
Local time of programming in PST. Basically duplicated by timelocal. Candidate for deprecation. |
| reprate |
Repetition interval for signal transmission. |
| sampbattunits |
