Gary,
Unless things have changed (radically) since I was there:
The lucky Omega employee waits late in the day, possibly after his
scheduled work hours, and then downloads the data for the day. He next
copies it to the FTP site. They try to get the data up on the web as
quickly as possible. Realize that this process is no less arduous or time
consuming for them than it is for us. The effort required pretty much
rules out a repetition of the process the next morning...
As to why there is no data for the evening session... The night session
has not yet occurred when the sample if taken. Up to this point when you
paste in data it replaces the previous data with the "newer and better"
sample. It is not an insert, not a merge, it is an overwrite.
