Operator's guide
Once the data is stored on the DCM, whether in Flash memory or on the hard disk, it can be retrieved
•by a remote computer running Gü ralp Systems' Scream!, or other GCF- compatible software;
•by another DCM or AM, also using GCF;
•by setting up a CD1.0 or CD1.1 transmitter on the DCM;
•by direct file transfer (using SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.,)
•optionally, by requesting the data using SeedLink or AutoDRM.
A PC running Gü ralp Systems' Scream! software can not only collect data from the DCM, but also configure the module and any instruments attached to it.
You may need to enable and configure some of these methods before you can use them: see Chapter 4, “Configuration options” for more details.
Most installations of the DCM will not require any more complex setting up than the Web configuration system can offer. However, in some cases you may need to take advantage of the flexibility offered by the underlying Linux operating system.
6.1 File systems
The DCM uses the standard Unix/Linux file naming conventions. The operating system resides in two blocks of Flash memory, mounted on / and /boot; when the module is powered up, a separate boot loader loads the rest of the operating system.
