TS playback using IRIS

You must configure some settings in the IRIS user interface.

Configuration requirements for IRIS playback
IRIS location Setting
Ingest > Signal Processing and Data Storage

Source of recorded angles = RVP Tags

Source of recorded time = RVP Tags

General > Modes and Protocols

Timezone for data recording = UTC

General > Scanning Options

Task Scheduling Control = Active/Passive or Passive

Passive type = TS–Playback

When the configuration is complete, you are ready to use IRIS to play back data.

  1. Launch tsarchive on your RVP10 machine.
  2. Select TS Source to launch the tsswitch.
  3. In tsswitch, select Local Playback.
  4. In the tsarchive Playback Options section, clear the Repeat button.
  5. Set the Version to a unique non-zero value.
  6. Select from the inventory the file or files you wish to playback, and set the P bit for those.

    If you are playing back a multiple sweep volume scan, there is one file per sweep.

  7. Use the IRIS menu bar to bring up the Task Scheduler menu.

    Make sure it says Passive on the top menu bar.

  8. Select the task that matches the data.
  9. Select Go/Schedule for that task.

    It toggles to running.

    Wait for data to arrive.

  10. On the tsarchive, select Playback.
  11. On the Task Scheduler menu, set the task to Stop (when done), so that it stops after one time.

    Because IRIS sorts stored data by time and playback version number, it is important to only playback the data once.

The Ingest Summary menu displays a 2-digit number containing the playback version after the site code.

Original data with a playback version of 0, does not include the number.

The ingest filenames have a V appended followed by the 2-digit playback number.
