Installation of UHDAS for data collection
This process is not documented well enough to hand off to someone
else. At the moment, It takes (roughly) the following to get
UHDAS installed on a ship:
- Ship techs willing to have a linux box doing the data acquisition
(will require minimal system management and possibly some upgrades)
- Ship operations director willing to support this activity
- Purchase of a particular computer model (we're currently
using a Dell PowerEdge 750 Intel® Pentium® 4 processor,
2.8GHz, 1MB Cache, 800MHz FSB, with two 160Gb SATA drives, and a Digi
"Neo" serial port board (total about $1800)
- A dedicated monitor
- Time (it takes a couple of days to set up the computer here at
UH, and several days to do the installation. There would have to
be a block of time when we could come set up the computer on the
ship. That requires a convenient port call or short transit
cruise.
- Tech support during the installation (getting serial cables set
up, rack mount unit set up)
