The Rock-to-EW module provides a data relay from a
Kinemetrics-Rockhound-compatible
instrument to the USGS Earthworm software package. The module is
written in Java and runs on the instrument hardware itself, emulating
an Earthworm "export_generic" module, and providing a TCP/IP listen
port for external "import" programs to connect to. To install or
update the
Rock-to-EW module in a Rockhound-compatible instrument:
- Copy the "RockToEW_update.jar" file into the " /usr/rock/SMARTSDist/injar" directory on the instrument
- Rename "RockToEW_update.jar" to "update.jar"
- Reboot the instrument
Once installed, the RockToEW module needs to be added to the
digitizer's layout, and the module's parameters configured. See
the instrument's manual (Kinemetrics p/n 300715) for details on how to
add and configure modules. See the RockToEW
description for details on the module and its parameters.
The RockToEW source code is archived in the "src/src.zip"
file. Once unpacked, the "mkdist.sh" script or "mkdist.bat" batch
file may be used to rebuild the module from source. A local
installation of the Rockhound software package is required (for the
library 'jar' files). Note that (at the time of this writing) the
Rockhound platform uses a Java 1.3 runtime environment, so all module
code features must be compatible with Java 1.3.
