Waveform Data Request Help
Requesting waveform data requires a limiting time period and a list of
channels and stations from which to retrieve data.
Your email address
- This is the email address to which data and other messages should be sent
by the NDC AutoDRM system.
Start date (mm/dd/yy)
- This is the start date of your request. It MUST be in the format
MM/DD/YY where MM is the month (1-12), DD is the day (1-31), and YY is the last
two digits of the year.
Start time (hh:mm:ss)
- This is the start time of your request. It MUST be in the format
HH:MM:SS where HH is the hour (0-23), MM is the minute (0-59), and SS is the
second (0-59).
Duration
- This is the time duration of your request. This MUST be in whole
seconds. It is added to the start time to determine the end time of the
request.
Channel selection
- At least one channel must be selected to complete your request. Set the
toggles for the channels from which you desire data.
Station selection
- At least one station must be selected to complete your request. Set the
toggles for the stations from which you desire data.
Waveform data format
- Select the format from the pulldown menu that should be used when
returning data.
Return method
- An Email message will notify you when your data is complete:
- Email - This is appropriate for
requests returning less than 100kB of data. The response is returned to the
email address specified in the Your email address field.
If the returned data turns out to be too large for email,
the data will be stored online and the user
may retrieve it via anonymous ftp. The user is notified by email as to where
the data may be retrieve from.
- FTP - This is
appropriate for requests returning less than 100MB of data. When the request
is completed, the result is stored online at our anonymous ftp site. An email
message is sent informing the user of completion and how to retrieve the data
by anonymous ftp.
- Magnetic Media - This is
appropriate for request greater than 100MB. The user must provide the magnetic
media (Exabyte or DAT) as well as shipping payment.
Display toggle
- If the display toggle button is set when the Submit request button
is pressed, the request email message will be displayed instead of actually
being submitted. If the toggle is not set, the message will be emailed to
the NDC AutoDRM system.
