The Instrument_Logistics field contains information
about the starting date of the instrument operation, owner(s) of the instrument,
and data rate.
- <Data_Rate> The amount of digital data that
is moved from one place to another in a given time; usually in a second's
time, through a communications line or channel. For example, <Data_Rate>450
kbps</Data_Rate>. (Adapted from: Sippl/Kidd;
Searchvoip)
- <Instrument_Start_Date> The date that an instrument
became operational.
- <Instrument_Stop_Date> The date that an instrument
ceased operation.
- <Instrument_Owner> The organization(s) responsible
for the development and operation of the instrument.
