R
wiide parameters, those that are
a expected tto be used by multiple moddules within thhe Rockhound
d
sy
ystem, are sto
ored in smarts.cfg. This fille would holdd parameters ssuch as the iddentifying nam
me of the unitt,
pllus widely neeeded parametters such as PreEvent
P
and PostEvent tim
me if Rockhouund is being uused for even
nt
reecording.
Lastly,
L
hardwaare specific paarameters are stored in the configurationn file hardwaare.cfg. This file is used to
o
ho
old values thaat are unique to
t a particularr set of hardw
ware, and would include succh things as seerial numberss,
ch
hannel countss, sensor types, calibration values, and oother things thhat are particuular to a givenn set of
haardware.
The
T idea is to separate
s
the hardware
h
speccific parts of tthe configuraation from thoose that are noot hardware
deependent, so that
t common Rockhound configuration
c
ns can be usedd at multiple ssites having ssimilar overall
reequirements.

OK,
O we've reviewed the bassics of how Rockhound
R
moodules hook ttogether, so leet's look at a m
more realisticc,
bu
ut still relativ
vely simple ex
xample. Let's look at a Rocckhound conffiguration witth the followinng
ch
haracteristics:
- Input data sou
urce is a Kineemetrics Altu
us recorder useed as a digitizzer (sample raate unimportaant for this
example)
- Data is to be recorded con
ntinuously in 15
1 minute (9000 second) filles
- Data is to be stored in Min
niSEED form

A Simple Contin
nuous Record
der Example
As
A shown, dataa flows from the data source, to the conntinuous recorrder module tthat is responssible for
gaathering all of the data from
m the data source and neattly dividing itt into 15 minuute (900 seconnd) segments.
The
T data is theen in turn passsed to the Arcchiver that is responsible fo
for formattingg it in the selected style - in
n
th
his case MiniS
SEED formatt.
