On startup, q2ew reads the configuration file named on the command line. As always, the configuraton file contains comments:
Command names must be typed in the control file exactly as shown in this document (upper/lower case matters!). q2ew supports one diagnostic command line option, -v is for verbose mode so that you can see packets coming in.# marks the line as a comment (example: # This is a comment).
 
   
Below are the configure commands recognized by q2ew, grouped by the function 
they influence.  Most of the commands are required. Only SCNL2pinmap and 
LOG2LogFile are optional.
 
In the following section, all configuration file commands are listed 
in alphabetical order.  Listed along with the command (bold-type) are 
its arguments (in red), the name of the subroutine that processes the 
command, and the function within the module that the command influences. 
A detailed description of the command and is also given.  Default values 
and example commands are listed after each command description.
 
Here is a copy of the q2ew.desc file as implemented. Note that all causes of
death for q2ew feed through the function q2ew_die() which logs all causes of
death using logit() and sends a message to the statmgr utility.
1.   EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE
#
# q2ew configuration file
#
# This code receives MiniSEED records from COMSERV, converts them into
# Earthworm trace buf messages, and stuffs them into a wave ring.
#
#
 ModuleId	MOD_Q2EW	# module id for this import,
 RingName	WAVE_RING	# transport ring to use for input/output,
 HeartbeatInt	10		# Heartbeat interval in seconds
				# this should be half the q2ew.desc heartbeat!
 LogFile	1		# If 0, don't write logfile at all,
 LOG2LogFile 	1		#

3.  ALPHABETIC COMMAND LISTING & DESCRIPTION
command arg1				processed by		function
  	
ComservSeqBuf csqtype			main			Main q2ew Thread		
 
This command is used to define how q2ew gets data from COMSERV.  csqtype is the name of a 
#define as found in COMSERV's comserv/include/service.h file. csqtype can have the following
values:
	CSQ_NEXT
	CSQ_LAST
	CSQ_FIRST
CSQ_LAST is what is being used for ATWC since they are only interested in the latest available data from the
digitizer or DA  (digitizer=DA in Quanterras documents). CSQ_NEXT gets only the data that are newer than that 
already receieved by COMSERV and CSQ_FIRST gets all the data in the DA's buffer.
Default:  none
Example: 
	ComservSeqBuf CSQ_LAST
  	
HeartbeatInt beat			HeartBeat		Earthworm setup		
 
Beat the q2ew heart every beat seconds. This is
implemented as a separate thread in q2ew.
  	
LOG2LogFile switch			logLOGchans 		Main q2ew Thread		
 
Sets the on-off switch for writing Quanterra LOG channels to the LogFile.  
If switch is 0, no LOG channels will be written to the log.  
If switch is 1, q2ew will write all LOG channels to the LogFile. Turning
this on will automatically turn on writing of a LogFile.
Default:  0 - do not use logit() for LOG channels
  	
LogFile switch				GetConfig		Earthworm Setup		
 
Sets the on-off switch for writing a log file to disk.  If switch
is 0, no log file will be written.  If switch is 1, q2ew 
will write a daily log file(s) called q2ewxx.log_yymmdd 
where xx is q2ew's module id (set with "MyModuleId" command) 
and yymmdd is the current UTC date (ex: 960123) on the system clock.  
The file(s) will be written in the EW_LOG directory (environment 
variable).  
Default:  none
  	
MyModuleId mod_id			GetConfig		Earthworm setup		
 
Sets the module id for labeling all outgoing messages. mod_id is
a character string (valid strings are listed in earthworm.d) that
relates (in earthworm.d) to a unique single-byte number.
Default:  none				
Calnet:   MyModuleId MOD_Q2EW
  	
RingName ring				GetConfig		Earthworm setup		
 
This is the ring into which the waveforms and messages are sent.
Default:  none, required option				
ATWC:   RingName WAVE_RING
  	
SCNL2pinmap S C N L pin			insertSCNL		Main q2ew Thread		
 
This command is used to define how q2ew maps a Station Channel Name to a pin
number for those installations who wish to define pins....This is a throwback
to old digitizers and is not recommended since Quanterra digitizers can
properly be configured to know SCNL information. Data from 
S C N L is compared to the SEED header of the waveform
packets coming off the DA and the pin number is 
substituted into the tracebuf struct passed to Earthworm. 
S is for station name,
C is for channel identifier, and
N is for network code.
Note that station,
channel, and network names in Quanterra  follow the SEED convention and
can be 5, 3, and 2 chars in length respectively.
Default:  none, optional command
SCNL2pinmap	Q003 HHZ AT --  1
SCNL2pinmap	Q003 HLN AT --  2
SCNL2pinmap	Q003 HLE AT --  3
  	
TimeoutNoSend timeout			HeartBeat		Earthworm setup		
 
If no waveform packets come from the DA after 
timeout seconds, the q2ew module will notify statmgr
and die. If timeout is set to 0, then the q2ew module
will never check for this timeout. If set to 0, q2ew will only die if COMSERV 
dies, or if the Earthworm system calls for its termination. This timeout 
begins once the first Waveform packet is received from ANY DA served by 
COMSERV. It is not specific to any one DA.
Default:  none, required option				
ATWC:   TimeoutNoSend 0
