3. System Overview The SIMA system consists of components that allow the user to monitor seismometers display and store the data locally and transmit that data to clients over the Internet 1 1 Components There are three main components to the software the client server embedded microsystem TINI The client can be run by anyone with an Internet connection and is used to monitor and display seismic data being transmitted from different servers on the Internet The server and TINI software work in conjunction with each other The TINI software runs on the TINI and actually monitors the amplified signals from the seismometers converting the analog signal to digital data and transmitting it to the server over a network connection The server displays the data locally and transmits the data to the client software over the internet 1 2 System Requirements The client and server software require a PC running at least Windows 95 2000 or XP recommended The TINI software requires a TINI board from Dallas Semiconductor Chapter 2 Client Software 2 1 Installation 211 From the web Download the appropriate client setup file from http www physics moravian edu seismic download html After downloading the file locate it on your computer and double click on it to execute it This will begin the setup program that will walk you through each step of installing the Seismic Internet Monitoring Application Client 2 1 2 From CD ROM For this sec
