CMG-DM24S12AMS Operator's guide

The Data Flow pane of the Control window allows you to instruct the

digitiser what to do with data that it receives. Many Güralp digitisers
contain internal Flash memory, which can be used to store incoming

data if requested. The DM24S12AMS's internal digitisers do not contain

internal Flash memory, since they are set up to transmit directly to the

built-in laptop (which has a much greater storage capacity.) However,

you may want to use these options if you have connected another
Güralp digital instrument to one of the DIGITAL A – F ports. For more
information, please consult the documentation for the instrument you

connect.

3.3 Recording and filing data

Scream! allows you to record all incoming data and store it on the local

hard disk. To do this, you should select the streams you want to record

from Scream!'s main window, right-click, and choose Start recording
from the pop-up menu. The streams will display Yes in the “Rec”

column to indicate that they are recording.

By default, recorded data is placed in a data directory within the

Scream 4 installation, in GCF format.

Scream! has a number of options which allow you to change the way
data is recorded and filed. From the main window, select Setup... from
the File menu to open the Setup window. Click on the Recording tab.
(Scream!'s setup window also provides a number of other kinds of

options. Consult Scream!'s documentation or online help for more

details.)

Recording

The upper part of this pane allows you to instruct Scream! to record

various streams automatically. Scream! will start recording all relevant

streams immediately, but will also remember the settings for the next

time it is started up.

Auto Record—Enable for Data Streams causes all local data streams to
be saved automatically, whilst Auto Record—Enable for Status Streams
does the same for digitiser status streams (those ending in “00”.)
