Once a local ground receiving station has been installed and configured,  the satellite and environmental data that is (re-) broadcasted via communication satellites can be received and stored on a storage device (server). Since the data is continuously received through GEONETCast or received during the night/early morning on a 7 days a week basis through the DDS, the “GEONETCast Data Manager" and "DDS Data Manager” data management systems, have been developed to manage the data streams. Both utilities are similar and can be easily configured using a simple ascii text file.

The software can be used as a stand alone and can be downloaded from here

• GEONETCast Datamanager
• DDS Datamanager

Unzip the file and execute the DataManager.jar file (this requires JAVA).

A description of the Data Manager software can be found in the GEONETCast toolbox installation and user manual.

Configuration

The Data Manager software uses ascii configuration files. Download sample configuration files that can be used to move data stream files that are received at the ground station to a storage device here.
