The primary role of NAQS Server software is to acquire a continuous error-free data set for real-time processing and archiving by Nanometrics and third party client software modules. NAQS Server guarantees the highest possible data integrity using a robust, persistent error correction protocol that can be easily configured to operate over a wide range of telemetry types.
NAQS offers:
a single data acquisition solution for a broad range of seismic and environmental data robust, persistent error correction, guaranteeing the highest possible data integrity Java implementation to eliminate future dependencies on computer hardware and operating systems thereby protecting your software investment simple implementation of fully redundant autonomous acquisition systems using UPD/IP multicast simplification of near real-time data sharing between data centers continuous real-time error corrected data accessible via a well documented open format TCP/IP interface first class technical support to get your system going and keep it going
Key functions
- Serves as the primary interface for receiving real-time seismic and transparent serial data from Nanometrics' remote field digitizers, RM4 Bridge Multiplexers and Libra satellite seismograph systems
- Implements a robust selective retransmission error correction protocol to ensure the highest possible data integrity over a wide range of telemetry interfaces
- Records the continuous time series data to ringbuffers on disk
- Distributes real-time, error-corrected data via TCP/IP to data processing clients and customer developed software packages such as Earthworm
- Monitors and displays real-time state-of-health information along with Nanometrics Waveform and NAQSView client processes
- Operates at the communications interface for command and control of remote field hardware
More choices in telemetry and network topology
NAQS Server allows the user to choose between satellite, fixed frequency RF, spread spectrum, telephone and Internet IP communications within the same network. In all cases NAQS Server offers the advantage of full duplex communications with a robust error correction protocol that guarantees the highest possible data integrity. The user can choose between a highly centralized network topology for ease of control by a national center, or a more decentralized model with regional sub-centers where scientists can process their own events. NAQS Server works just as well in a hierarchy of national and regional networks.
NAQS Server has all the hooks to support large network configurations in mission critical installations. NAQS Server supports UDP/IP multicast. This permits fully independent installations to operate concurrently; simultaneously processing data from the same remote stations. With two or more NAQS Server systems operating in parallel, customers can migrate system configuration changes and software updates from a secondary test installation to the primary NAQS Server system. This approach to system administration effectively eliminates system down time due to incorrect configuration. Network operators will appreciate the NAQS Server client programs, which provide near real-time network performance data at a glance. Operators can display near real-time network state-of-health information on any computer having an IP connection to the NAQS Server.
Information such as GPS status, mass position, telemetry performance and remote site power voltages are displayed against a colour-coded background which quickly identifies whether or not the variable is within limits.
A separate waveform client permits operators to display near real-time waveform data from all or selected data channels.
Java implementation
Customers can run NAQS Server on most computer platforms with Java support. This includes Intel PC and SUN workstation systems. The Java implementation minimizes future dependencies on computer hardware and operating system types, thereby protecting your software investment.
Documented real-time data interfaces
The primary role of the NAQS Server software is to operate as the interface between the physical data communication network and the central site data processing and archiving functions. NAQS Server incorporates a well documented TCP/IP interface for real-time waveform and state-of-health data feeds. To date, this interface has been successfully used to integrate a number of on-line processing software packages including:
