Vincenzo Mone
Hello, Since I get back from a little stop, it seems I see Something changed, I do not see the files I received before and also I see new files incoming. Please anybody so kind to send me the correct ini files?
cast-client_bas.ini cast-client_hvs-1.ini cast-client_hvs-2.ini cast-client-channels_bas.ini cast-client-channels_ hvs-1.ini cast-client-channels_ hvs-2.ini
So I can correct them? Thanks in advance

I think this may be important for you... |

Some channel names have also changed and data channels have been merged.
I don't know if EUMETSAT provides the modified ini files separately. It might work if you download a recent version of Tellicast. |

Here i found something helpful for you. It seems the new ini-files can be downloaded there:

It seems you have the latest version.
So check the PID's and Channel-Names. Only PID's 100, 500, 600, 601 are in use. Here you can find helpful information from EUMETSAT: https://eumetsatspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DSEC/pages/695763113/EUMETCast+Setup |

You should use the Beta-Program from MSG-Data-Manager. It is the latest running Version and supports the new IODC-Sat-Constellation. (new File-Name is IODN).
https://www.satsignal.eu/software/beta.htm You need for each Satellite of Interest a seperate Instance of MSG-Data-Manager running if you want to receive the Data in realtime and parallel. MSG-4 – FES (Meteosat-11) = 0° MSG-3 – RSS (Meteosat-10) = 9,5° Ost MSG-2 – IODC (Meteosat 9) = 45.5° Ost  --- Another hint.. I am using Startup-Delayer. This is what it looks like:

Before I do this, you should know that I have a PC that is only intended for receiving data from the geostationary satellites.
These are the following satellites: MSG-4 (FES) MSG-2 (IODC) HIMAWARI-8 GOES-16 GOES-17 GOES-18 (parallel) David's software (I use the software package MSG-Data-Manager, GEO-Sat-Signal, MSG-Animator and GOES-ABI-Manager) is very versatile. So my configuration could be different than you want to use it. This starts with the many instances of the MSG Data Manager. |
|
|
|
Addition to the above post:
The PC receives the data from the geostationary satellites in parallel in real time and processes them at the same time. Therefore, the many instances are necessary. However, it is also possible to only receive the 'raw data' and then evaluate them later. Only one instance is necessary. So you can see that the configuration differs depending on usage... |

Yes it is the same I used before. I used:
MSG-1 MSG-2 MSG-3 MSG-4 MSGANIMATOR AVHRR METOP MANAGER
Of course I had created several instances of MSG DATA MANAGER 1 for each reception. Thanks I am just asking an help because how I said before I did not follow the changes that has been done as I was out.

Ok, what you should know:
MSG-1 is no longer active and is on its way to the orbital graveyard. More Information: https://www.eumetsat.int/eumetsats-meteosat-9-satellite-keeps-watchful-eye-indian-ocean-weather HIMAWARI-8 will be switched to HIMAWARI-9 in the near future due to its End of Lifetime. David is aware of this issue and will test the new data provided by EUMETSAT. More Information: https://www.eumetsat.int/himawari-9-data-replace-himawari-8-data-soon GOES-17 has malfunctioned and will be replaced by GOES-18 in the near future. Both satellites are currently sending their data in parallel mode. More Information: https://www.eumetsat.int/parallel-dissemination-goes-18-abi-data At the end of this year, the EUMETCast transmission will be switched to another transponder. So far nothing has changed for the BAS and HVS-1 channels. For HVS-2 the frequency changes to 11263Mhz vertical. Modifications to the equipment may be required here if no dual LNB is used. More information: https://www.eumetsat.int/eumetcast-europe-service-transponder-migration --- More hints: You should keep an eye on the EUMETSAT-News-Website. They provide interesting information: https://www.eumetsat.int/news/latest-newshttps://www.eumetsat.int/news/latest-news Should there be any outages, EUMETSAT will inform users via UNS (User Notification Service): https://uns.eumetsat.int/ You can log in there with the same account data as when registering with EUMETSAT and also be informed via e-mail in the event of incidents. |

This is what it looks like on my Receiving-System.
 I have to say that Drive 'E' is the RAM-Drive and 'F' the Archive-HDD with the Pictures from the Satellites. The 'Tellicast-received-files-location' and the 'Saved raw data-location' should be the same as set in the Tellicast 'cast-client-channels_bas.ini and 'cast-client-channels_hvs-1.ini. The 'Processed image files location' should be a seperat BIG HDD-Drive. The more days you want to store, the larger the HDD should be. |

First Thanks. I ask you is this setting for all the MSG DATA MANAGER instances? Thanks

Yes, they should be all the same...
The only difference between the instances is under Setup by 'Advanced Settings':  I think you now know why multiple instances. However, MSG-1 is negligible because it is inactive. I hope this helps you. |

 In total I have 4 instances of the MSG Data Manager running. 1. Is set to MSG-1. Since the satellite is inactive, this instance does not process any data. It only runs for the cleanup, which is performed every day and deletes the oldest files after 30 days. 2. Is for Himawari-8 3. Is for MSG-2 4. Is for MSG-4 I don't use RSS. In addition, I have the GOES ABI Manager running with 3 instances. 5.GOES-16 6.GOES-17 7. GOES-18 (parallel) 8. Weather Station Software 9. MSG Animator Fenter 10. TBS reception software I know the desktop looks 'wild'... |

Sorry - another entry:
I wrote that instance 1 is only running for cleanup. It is important that the cleanup for the remaining instances is ALL set to '0'. (data retention) |
