| Definition |
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.

| Syntax |
<Instrument_Logistics>
<Data_Rate>real number or text</Data_Rate>
<Instrument_Start_Date>yyyy-mm-dd</Instrument_Start_Date>
<Instrument_Stop_Date>yyyy-mm-dd</Instrument_Stop_Date>
<Instrument_Owner>text</ Instrument_Owner>
</Instrument_Logistics>
- <Data_Rate> and <Instrument_Owner>
are free text fields and may contain 1 to 80 characters of the printable
UTF-8 character set.
- The <Instrument_Start_Date> and <Instrument_Stop_Date>
fields contains year, month, and day and must follow the International
Standard ISO 8601 in the
form: yyyy-mm-dd

| Usage |
- The <Instrument_Logistics> field is highly recommended
and repeatable.
- The <Data_Rate> field within <Instrument_Logistics>
are recommended and not repeatable.
- The <Instrument_Start_Date> and <Instrument_Stop_Date>
are recommended and not repeatable.
- Please specify units with <Data_Rate>. Some example
units are: T-(Tera), G- (Giga), M- (mega) bps (bytes per second). For
example, <Data_Rate>500 Mbps</Data_Rate>.
- The <Instrument_Owner> is recommended and repeatable.
