+This function takes a sensor's discriminant (which is basically an ID)
+and returns all the data that needs to be saved
+
+That data can take 4 forms:
+
+string column name: name of a column in the given csv
+None: a field that does not matter/ is not in the csv
+1: a boolean that needs to be padded to 4 bytes
+0: a 1 byte value that does not need to be padded
+
+These cases are very specific to the current csv/ MIDAS configuration,
