stationXML
A network source that makes the metadata loaded from a StationXML file available to SOD. While a local file could be used, the more useful way is to access the ws-station web service at the IRIS DMC, http://www.iris.edu/ws/ws-station. SOD can download the stationXML automaticially and reconnect to periodically get updates. For a fill SOD run (that retrieves waveforms) the level in the IRIS url should be either chan or resp as otherwise no channels will be found and so no data will be downloaded.
Example
<stationXML> <url>http://www.iris.edu/ws/station/query?net=II&sta=AAK&chan=BHZ,BHN,BHE,BH1,BH2&loc=00,--&level=chan</url> <refreshInterval> <unit>DAY</unit> <value>10</value> </refreshInterval> </stationXML>
