Synthetic data

Synthetic data can be added to the database for benchmarking purposes using one of the scenarios in utilities/benchmarking or creating one of your own. To do so:

• Populate the database with some initial data for the Station, Variable and all the required models (see the Getting Started section).
• Install the development dependencies (read the Tests section)
• Run your desired synthetic data scenario.

If you run one of the built in ones, you should see a progressbar for the process and, if you log in into the Django Admin of Paricia (http://localhost:8000/admin), then you will see the records for the Measurements model increasing.
