==== Software Configuration (Raspberry Pi OS) ====
Custom acquisition software has been written and included in the Airborne Data Processing and Acquisition (ADPAA) software package. Command, 

python3 ./GillSonic_CH601.py

is used to acquire the data.

A Raspberry Pi 4 has been setup to acquire the data in CH601 with command,

lxterminal --command="python3 /home/pi/ADPAA/src/scripts_python/GillSonic_CH601.py"

which is stored in the file,

~/bin/start_GillSonic_CH601

The Gill Sonic acquisition program start with pi user login via a line added to /etc/profile. 
==== Software Configuration (Windows 10 OS) ====
The software being used for the Sonic Anemometer is WindView, which can be download from the [[http://www.gillinstruments.com/main/software.html|Manufacturer Web Site]]. System is setup with rdesktop using standard password. Computer has [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse|Open SSH server installed]] and [[https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-To-Use-SSH-Client-and-Server-on-Windows-10-1470/|setup]] using "students" as username and standard password. Data is Stored in the c:\WindData directory. DeltaCopy has been [[http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopyDownloadInstaller.jsp|downloaded]] and install, which enables rsync on Aircraft server to access the DeltaCopy software's Virtual Directory 'WindData' (has been added in DeltaCopy Server software) on the computer via [[https://pureinfotech.com/open-port-firewall-windows-10/|network port 873 that needs to be open]] in the Windows firewall.

==== Data Acquisition ====
To start the WindView software on the computer in CH601 and begin logging data follow these steps:
  *Double-click on the Gill WindView icon on the Desktop
  *Select Menus ->File->Connect
  *A window will pop up.
    * Enter **CH601-YYYY** in the 'Name' field box. Where YYYY is 4 digit year, like 2020.
    * Select 'GILL_POLAR_TWO_AXIS' in 'Output Format' Pull down menu
    * Select COM1 in the 'Port' Pull Down menu
    * Select **9600** in the 'Baud Rate' Pull Down menu
    * Select NONE in the 'Parity' Pull Down menu
    * Click '**Connect**' Button
  * Should see data coming in on left side of window (with 'Data' tab selected), if not, reset power on Sonic Anemometer.
  *Select Menus ->Settings->Logging
  *The 'Log Settings' window will pop up.
    * Check '**Enable**' under 'Segmented Logging'
    * Select **6** mins in 'Create new log file every' field.
    * Check '**Append Time Stamp**' field.
    * The 'Directory' field should be **M:\Surface\CH601\data\WindSonic\raw**  (M: drive is mounted drive from aircraft.atmos.und.edu)
    * The 'File Name (prefix) field should be **Wind.txt**
    * Click '**Apply**' Button
    * Click '**OK**' Button in pop up Window.
  *Select Menus **->Log->Start**

For troubleshooting purposes:
    * If sonic anemometer is not transmitting data:
      * Check/reset serial cable attached to computer.
      * Check/reset power to sonic anemometer/computer. 
      * Then, re-startup data acquisition process.


====Data Stream====
  * Transfer to Aircraft Server
    * Data is transferred from CH601 Windows 10 computer to Aircraft server.
    * Data is stored in **/nas/Surface/CH601/data/WindSonic/raw** on Aircraft server.
    * The script **/nas/Surface/CH601/ingest/scripts/rsync_ch6012local** does the transfer.
  * Create Plots on Delene's Website
    * The script /nas/Surface/CH601/data/WindSonic/scripts/process_all_winds creates all plots. 
    * Plots are stored in /nas/Surface/CH601/data/WindSonic/plots on Aircraft server.
    * Transfer to Web Server
      * The /nas/Surface/CH601/ingest/scripts/rsync_aircraft2adiabat copy plots to Web server.
  * Upload Data to UND CHORDS Server
    * Upload script /nas/Surface/CH601/ingest/scripts/Wind-6_Realtime2chords.py
  * Automated (crontab)
    * The Data Stream is automated using the david.delene user's crontab on Aircraft server.
    * The crontab information is archived in /nas/Surface/CH601/control/contab
