CMG-DM24

The special value, NORMAL COMPRESSION, returns the setting to its

default value, equivalent to 8BIT 250 COMPRESSION.

LOWLATENCY

Syntax: LOWLATENCY

This is a special mode for applications requiring lower sample rate

data in as close to real time as possible. In this mode, the digitizer
takes a 200 samples/s stream and passes it through low-pass and

decimation filters internally, before exposing it as a 20 samples/s
stream at an increased rate of 1 block per second.

To enable low latency mode on all three components, first use
SAMPLES/SEC to set Tap 0 to 200 samples/s, then issue the following
commands:

NORMAL COMPRESSION

0 7 CONTINUOUS

0 1 BANDPASS

LOWLATENCY

7 TRIGGERS

If you want to enable low latency mode on some components only,

replace the 7s above with another value (e.g. 1 = Z, 2 = N, 4 = E).

To disable low latency mode, issue

0 1 BANDPASS

0 TRIGGERS

When LOWLATENCY is active, the TRIGGERS and BANDPASS
commands have special meanings. Because of this, the STA/LTA

triggering function is disabled. You can still use LEVEL triggering if
you require (see below).

SETDSS

Syntax: output-spec SETDSS

This command alters the way the DM24 outputs its status streams.

In normal operation, the DM24 stores lines of status information until
it has filled a 1K GCF block. For low latency applications, however,

status information is required more frequently. In this mode, the
DM24 will output a status block every minute. This mode is required

by the DSS server distributed with Güralp Systems' CMG-DCM.
