DYSI The most recently sampled data, sample number 1. When n-1=0 there is
no numbered suffix added to the label.
DYSI-2 The second sample (number 2) has an n-1=2-1=1, therefore a „-1‟ suffix is
added to the label
DYSI-N The minimum values in the sample set
DYSI-X The maximum value in the sample set
DYSI-G The average of the samples in the sample set
These labels can then be used in sensor group definitions within the sitedefs.txt
configuration file.
Log Files
Log files contain operational messages or application error messages, which may have
been generated as a result of events encountered by msiDCSdecode.
DCSactivity.log -The activity log file contains normal operational messages which
have been generated during normal operation of the msiDCSdecode application.
These messages may be helpful in determining whether the application is
performing correctly.
DCSproblem.log – The problem log file contains error messages, which may have
been generated as a result of events or problems encounterd by msiDCSdecode.
Retrieve.log – Recent successful data retrieval times in GMT. The methods in the
ddsClient use these times to determine what data needs to be retrieved from
NESDIS. These times may be helpful in determining the duration of networking
interruptions.
DCSrmp.log – The application automatically appends a Remote Maintenance
Parameter (RMP) message to the DCSrmp.log file for each new data message
received from each site. The application never deletes or shrinks the data file. Each
RMP parameter field contains a keyword: value pair. The following RMP keywords
are provided:
Keyword Values
sigdbm: Signal Strength in dbm
freqOff: Frequency Offset: + or – 0 through A (50hz increments)
modIndex: Modulation Index:(N)ormal, (L)ow or (H)igh
dataQual: Data Quality: (N)ormal, (L)ow or (H)igh
goesStat: Uplink Carrier Status
goesChan: GOES Channel: 001 through 266
goesSat: GOES Satellite: (E)ast or (W)est
Data files
mbdata.txt - The application automatically appends all data messages decoded
from the GOES system to the file named mbdata.txt. All data messages are
constructed in the MBD data message format, using CSI FP2 hex-coded sensor
fields. Each GOES message may spawn the generation of a number of data
