Enhancements to Simulcast Version 7.0 include:
Simulcast is a real-time Java application that allows users to select and view quicklook instrument data from multiple missions and spacecraft. Simulcast provides real-time geolocation and pseudo-calibration, and projects data on Mercator and Polar maps. Simulcast can replay recent satellite passes, export displayed images to JPEG format, and save replayed passes to AVI/Quicktime movies.
WARNING: Due to potential resource concerns, Simulcast should not be installed on a system that is also running an International Planetary Observation Processing Package (IPOPP) installation.
These installation instructions assume that the Simulcast package was installed in '/home/username'. If you are upgrading to Version 7.0 from a previous version of Simulcast, it is recommended that you save your existing configuration files (which are found in the configs/ directory) for possible future reference.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Simulcast, first close any open Simulcast Viewer/Console windows and stop the Simulcast Services, then delete the existing sc/ directory. The Simulcast Services can be stopped at any time from a shell by entering:
/home> cd /home/username/sc
/home/username/sc> ./jsw/bin/sc-services stop
Once the Simulcast Services are stopped, delete the existing Simulcast installation:
/home> cd /home/username/
/home> rm –rf sc/
Download the SIMULCAST_7.0.tar.gz and SIMULCAST_7.0_testdata.tar.gz files.
Then to install the new package:
1. create a user account (if it does not already exist) under which the server will run;
2. copy the downloaded SIMULCAST_7.0.tar.gz file to the desired installation directory (e.g., /home/username/);
3. decompress SIMULCAST_7.0.tar.gz using the command:
$ tar xzvf SIMULCAST_7.0.tar.gz
An 'sc’ directory containing the Simulcast package should now be present in the selected installation directory. The Simulcast user must own and have full read/write permissions to the installation and ‘sc’ directories.
Copy the downloaded SIMULCAST_7.0_testdata.tar.gz file to the installation directory (same directory as the ‘sc’ directory). Decompress and un-archive the SIMULCAST_7.0_testdata.tar.gz file:
$ tar –xzf SIMULCAST_7.0_testdata.tar.gz
Change (cd) to the sc directory. Run the script: ./jsw/bin/sc-services.sh start. See the User's Guide included within the software package for more details.
