Running the upi_rcv Program

These instructions assume that you are running upi_rcv on a computer node called target, and that IRIS is running on a computer called host.

Running on a single computer is simpler.

  1. Create the directory on target into which IRIS can copy products.

    For example /usr/iris_data/UPI. The directory name is not important.

  2. Copy upi_rcv to the target computer (if it is different from where you compiled it) so it can run there.
  3. Reset the mode after copying.
  4. In the Setup utility, on the IRIS host system, create a new network output device called ToUPI for sending products to the upi_rcv program.

    For example:

  5. On the target computer, run the upi program:

    $ upi_rcv -d /usr/iris_data/UPI

    For example:

    Initializing UPI receiver 
Connection established 
Received file: '/usr/iris_data/UPI/host950710171113.PPI' 
Connection closed
  6. In Setup > Product Output, send a horizontal reflectivity product to ToUPI.
