• [x] Suggest adding timing_system.n_satallites

[kujaku11]

• [x] Suggest adding uncertainty to location

[kujaku11]

for data_logger should add:

• [ ] software
• [ ] hardware

And channel could add:

• [ ] hardware

Suggest making filter have single units of filters. Currently the standard is:

channel.filter.applied = [list of filters]
channel.filter.name = [list of filters]

Suggest changing it to:

channel.filter = [list of filter_object]
filter_object.name = "name of single filter "
filter_object.applied = True

That way there doesn't need to be a test for the length of names and applied, they always come in a pair.
