Hi, Pat.

I think you are trying to convert a metop EARS picture with an older version of xrit2pic. METOP EARS is supported in version 2010.03 of xrit2pic and v1.6 of weview. Regards, Rob Alblas xrit2pic mailing list: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xrit2pic pat0691 schreef:

I'm usig Xrit2pic only in AVHRR mode.
In the preview of NOAA image there is this message and I don't see any image: Translating picture failed (pic2str)! Ricture format: Z Error: Can't oper file write. (note: nessage generating one time) What is the problem? Excuse me for my english. Pat

Re: Strange outage
Sorry I worded my last mail rather badly. Tellique closed down andUnderstood. Yes it will be interesting to see the new Tellicast client. I am a littleI expect we will be testing the new version soon, Ian - maybe you'll get an invite as well (as with the section packing and packet size tests earlier this year). The documentation is still to be done, I hear, and it sounds as if EUMETSAT have already done testing already. It may well be that there have been a number of intermediate releases (the last we tested was 2.5.3) and that EUMETSAT have waited until they had one they were happy with before rolling it out. One of the fundamental limits of the TelliCast system is that it's UDP - which is by nature not a reliable message delivery service, but faster than TCP. However, anything which interrupts polling to too long can disrupt the packet. The new client does allow for some performance improvement by using a RAMdisk.

Yesterday I too had an E-token error which I have never seen before. ItHello Ian, thanks for the report. It is probably co-incidental, but just in case there is some reprogramming of the e-token that is taking place, I guess it is worth looking out for. Interested to know that the new Tellique client may be rolled out before too long, PS Loch Lomond is looking good;-) Cheers James -- James Brown

Sorry I worded my last mail rather badly. Tellique closed down and re-opened with a " 0 " fsy file and my RAMdisk which is set to 350 MB ( temp and tellique writing to RAMdisk ) also restarted with 350 MB presumably as both fsy files were deleted.
Yes it will be interesting to see the new Tellicast client. I am a little surprised that you were not involved with testing, unless it is the long overdue version from a couple of years ago. Hopefully as you have indicated we can still put the \received\ directory on to RAMdisk as it does appear to give some benefit to 1 computer systems where other uses are made of the computer.

Re: Strange outage
Yesterday I too had an E-token error which I have never seen before. ItYes, I've seen one instance of that on the main PC within the past three or four months. If there are FSY file(s) when TelliCast restarts it will attempt to use them, and that would be the case with FSY files either on a RAMdisk or hard disk. How was the RAMdisk full? BTW: it seems that the new TelliCast client is due soon, but how it compares to the new client from a couple of years back (never released) we have yet to find out. Putting the \received\ directory on RAMdisk should still be possible, and with the previous new client you simply entered: [locations] file_database_directory=<memory> to have the FSY data in RAM.

Re: Strange outage
I usually stop the programs for house-keeping (like removing FSY etc) but this time I thought I would run RemoveFsy with system running as suggested by Fred - perhaps it just kept on running and deleting everything as it came in, but I couldn't find it running when I looked at the Rx PC. Probably a bit over-zealous too - the Z: drive was only running at half full. Silly me.As the size of the FSY files is limited by the recv.ini entry, I'm not clear what it achieves - that's what I'm asking. Is there evidence that under some conditions such as really heavy packet loss the FSY files can become corrupted? Were that the case, then I can see that stopping TelliCast and removing the files could make sense.

Yesterday I too had an E-token error which I have never seen before. It
forced the closure of Tellique which was then automatically restarted with a 0 fsy file and the RAMdisk " full " The message was " E-Token transaction timeout " and " critical dongle error restarting child " No losses since then so all now OK.

I do see very occasional eToken errors, so I think your explanation isThanks David, I didn't have a chance to look at the e-token - it's round the back of the machine and would need a bit of careful manoeuvring! I am not overly concerned, but outages without a cause bring out the 'detective' element in me. I think the suggestion for an in/out of the e-token with the machine off might be a good idea.

Re: Strange outage
Here's a new oddity for me.[] I closed the Tellicast component ( it was still showing a pink 'T') -I do see very occasional eToken errors, so I think your explanation is likely correct. Was the eToken still glowing? Might be worth making sure it's properly pushed in. You know how connections can deteriorate over time, and the scraping from pushing connections or re-seating RAM can clean off a thin layer of oxide (or whatever). A few days back my test system stopped processing data when it lost connection to its second hard disk (a SATA device, where the TelliCast \received\ was located). Warm reboot didn't work, but a cold reboot did. I put this down to one of these "one in a million" controller errors. I didn't open the system and clean it, but I probably should have done.

Re: Strange outage

This morning I found that I had stopped processing at 2000 yesterday. The only '10' folder I had was where the bracknell files automatically downloaded. In cases like this I usually assume I've missed a message - but it couldn't have been the case this time with such a comprehensive loss of data.
Anyhow, Rx PC reboot fixed it. Not sure of the cause - I rarely touch the Rx PC, although last evening I ran Fred's RemoveFsy manually, but I forget at what time. Robert Telephone and fax: 44 (0) 1352 714456

Strange outage
James Brown
Here's a new oddity for me.
Sometime around 3:45AM the system stopped decoding files. I say stopped decoding because the log file shows many messages which all say: Cannot join channel 'X' failed to decode key 'x'. It shows up here: http://www.meteosat.co.uk/mrtg/satellite_19.html There were no files clogging up the ram drive, the computer continued to function fine as the log reports, MRTG etc show. Reception of the signal remained at the usual strength - no BER's or tellicast packet loss. No thunderstorms here. I closed the Tellicast component ( it was still showing a pink 'T') - restarted the prog, and data once again started flowing. I wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar? I just wonder if for some presently unknown reason it lost contact with the dongle? Mystified. Cheers James -- James Brown

Re: installing Eumetsat software on OS Windows Vista home
Hello,My own Vista experiences are described here: http://www.satsignal.eu/wxsat/Dexatek/index.htm This is with the Dexatek (DVB World) USB box, so not directly relevant to a SkyStar card, but perhaps there will be one or two hints and tips which may help you. BTW: I had two PCs running XP (one Home and one Professional), and they ran the TelliCast software without problems. Sorry to hear that you couldn't get it working.

installing Eumetsat software on OS Windows Vista home
Roland Fechter
Hello,
As my main PC with XP professional definitely refuses to process the Eumetsat software the only choice I have is to try to have it run on my second PC with Windows Vista home Premium What is the general experience here with Eumetsat on Windows Vista ? Are there any tricks/traps affecting installation of the Eumetsat software on this O.S. ? Would you kindly let me know. Thanks in advance. Regards, Roland

Hi Roland,
I am not opperating MSG on a 24/7 basis but i am using the same box. The only problem that could occour is installing the basic drivers of this card. About a year ago when i dit the install i had to install and deinstall the drivers several time before the worked fine. During opperation i have no [problem with this unit.

MTSAT 1 => 2
fvalk <fvalk@...>
David,
Now that EUMETCast only disseminates MTSAT-2 files and no more MT1, I encounter some problems. Although - The new MSG Data Manager works fine - The latest GeoSatSignal version remaps OK I cannot use the background option as GeoSatSignal doesn't recognize the satellite name (mt-2) yet, defaulting to "background.bmp". I also cannot create an alternative "background-msg-mts.bmp" file because this remapping option doesn't yet exist in MapTo Geo and anyway I wouldn't know which naming convention you would use. There is a slight pressure on this as production (Asia/Australia) has temporarily halted. Cheers, Ferdinand
