Hello Rob Ecast looks like a very nice GUI tool to manage EUMETCast. Especially fine is the possibility to dynamically manage services. Looking at the multicast route statistics you could even find ou

Hi, Even if I have never setup EUMETCast under Windows, here is my advice: Your recv.log shows that tc-recv.exe terminates for some "unforeseen" reason. So it has no time to clean up the icon and ever

Hello Rob I used xrit2pic for the "man with the lamp" RSS animations. To firther follow the colinearity track I have one question: What means exactly the time stamp that you can add to the frames of t

Simon and Ulrich, As Simon pointed out the sun glint you see at the equator is a common effect that shows up in MSG animations every day. The diameter of the reflection spot is a measure for the rough

David, Dear all, I had the DIP in DDS signal yesterday at about 11:30 UTC. This is also when Ulrichs "strange light effect" showed up. Sorry I mixed up two things: The loss of DDS lock is from the W2A

Ulrich, You can even see the effect in near IR. Here is an IR_016 channel animation. I maintain my "explanation" of the colinearity effect. "Halo" might not be the right word though ... http://www.gym

Hello David, Alan and Ulrich Here is the yesterday animation as described by Ulrich from my GNU/Linux processing chain. We'll soon see what we have today. http://www.gymalp.ch/~eumetcast/HMSG1_RSS_VIS

Bernard and Ulrich, Yes it must be the sun outage. Here is the calculation for my station. Yesterday my dip in SNR was at 11:30 UTC. The strange light effect must be similar to the halo you see around

Hi Alan My combined EUMETCast/DDS receivers showed between 11:20 and 11:35 UTC - A dip in SNR of the EUMETCast receivers - High BER and PLL lock lost for DDS (!) You can zoom all my eLuna/RRD plots. S

Dear All, I thought it would be nothing but fair to share my experiments building a cheap homebrew Envisat DDS receiver under GNU/Linux. I added a link to a HOWTO at the bottom of my page http://www.g

Yes David. Interesting similarities. This points to some hardware problem (same for GNU/Linux and Windows). But some differencies too: - My card seem to lock even when frozen. The detune method does n

Dear all I partly resolved the SkyStar 2 PCI Rev. 2.6D freeze of the DDS interface on my dual receiver Io. First I physically switched the two PCI interface cards for EUMETCast and DDS to make sure th

It's me again While I was typing the last post the W2A signal (misstyped "WA2") came back. But I noticed that I had the same problem one day before (see RRD/eLuna plots). It was ESRINs uplink part aga

Dear all Since yesterday 22:30 UTC both my DDS receivers are trying to get WA2 signal lock back. It seems to be ESRIN's uplink turn. The last file both received was: MER_RR__2PNPDK20120107_185446_0000

Laurent As I said: learn how to use find. Your command line looks for files that have not been modified for at least 4 days. You can use the -mmin +360 switch for the same effect in minutes. The +360

Laurent If you are looking for a Linux solution learn how to use "find" (see man find). Then this is a oneliner in the crontab. You can e.g. ask find to search and delete all files in some directory s

Hi Werner, Great to hear it finally works the way it should. Ah, you edited it !!! This is a default setting of Apache. If no "index.html" is found it shows a file listing. It's under PHP control and

Werner, Let's give it one more try. O.K. I got it. Once again, this is good news! So Apache can read and serve ../htdocs/index.html but not the mrtg files in ../htdocs/mrtgdata. Make a copy of index.h

Werner, Let's begin with the obvious. First you were talking about a Wetter PC with IP 192.168.1.22. I understood this to be your receiver PC. Now you talk about a machine with IP 192.168.1.8. Your PC

David, My servers all run on UPSs as my receivers do. Switzerland has no magic power supply either. We had a 3 hours (!) outage at our school in Biel last year. All my UPSs used up their batterys and
