Hello Francesco and Others,

I wrote the program called "drum.exe" that requests data files from the "SDR" logging
computer and then convert these binary data files into a "GIF" format file, report. The
converted data can be digitally filtered , and automatically or manual scaled. The 
report can be  "yesterdays" data or an update of today's data. Its operation
depends on an external "scheduling" program, which launches this program at, predetermined 
times. This form of operation allows for greater flexibility. As the "scheduling" program
may be specific program, a server "cgi" request and so on. I use WinSchedular to launch the
program and AutoFTP to send the generated "GIF" reports to two web sites. You
see,  my station is some 11 kilometres from home. Anyhow you might want to check out 
Charlie's site at http://elfrad.com for an example of the "today's" version of the program. 

The shortest "SDR" time sequence is 120 minutes and the longest is 720 minutes. All the 
parameters are kept in a "*.ini" file associated with the program. It contains
all the directory locations, file names, low pass, high pass, notch, band pass filter
settings, display scale and so on.

At the moment the code is being beta tested. It seems there may be some small interest
in the program, but I'll need to talk to Larry and Charlie Plyler before I release the
program freely. The "SDR" file structure is Larry's and the code probably wouldn't 
have been written this year without Charlie's interest in the magnetic data. So if 
all goes well you and any "PSN" members are welcome to the program. Remember for
it to run in an automatic mode you need a networked computer to the "SDR" logging 
computer. You can manually load the "SDR" files and use the program to generate
a report but that's labour intensive. This program is only a Helio-plot of the 
data not an analysis program.


I hope this is helpful. If you or a PSN member, sill want the program, Email me at:

  ajbv@............

and then I'll approach the participants for approval.

Cheers

Arie

PS: I write terrible documentation:

web server. To do this action we have realized a batch file that, every * minutes generate a replay file into sdr replay direct
ory and save a gif file. Not too complicated.
