2 Quick start

1. If you are using a GPS timing signal to synchronize your

instruments, first connect a GPS receiver to the digitiser's GPS
socket.

2. Power up the system. The DM24S12AMS module can take power

from the mains, or from any ~12 V DC supply such as a battery or
UPS. If a rechargeable battery is connected to the BATTERY/UPS

socket, and enough external power is provided, the battery will

be recharged as required.

3. Open the lid of the unit, and power up the built-in laptop PC,

which is configured to automatically run the latest version of

Güralp's Scream! software. After a short while, Scream!'s main

window will open:

4. Scream! will then connect to the digitiser. The DM24S12AMS

houses two separate 6-channel digitiser modules, which work on
CH 1-6 and CH 7-12 respectively. After a short wait, the two
modules should appear under Local in the left hand pane, each
on its own Com port.
