Software for station-to-archive files

Each station scientist is responsible to create his/her own station-to-archive file. Since this process differs dramatically from station to station, no special software is offered to create these files. In case help is needed, please contact other Opens external link in new window station scientists to share ideas, programs, etc.

As soon as the station-to-archive file is ready to submit to the WRMC please use f_check for format control. After this format check please compress your files using gnuzip (*.gz).

Most scientists have their own software to handle station-to-archive-files downloaded from the WRMC. If you want to share your self-developed software freely with other scientists, please send it to Amelie Driemel. She will put links on this page accordingly.

Hints for "Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion" users

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is featuring the so called Gatekeeper. It’s a new setting, aimed at both security and peace of mind. Essentially Gatekeeper will be giving users three options for controlling apps:

Only allow applications from the Mac App Store
Allow Mac App Store apps and those from identified developers
Allow any app

By default, the second option is chosen, allowing apps from the Mac App Store to run, as well as those from identified developers. This second option is supported by all programs developed by the PANGAEA Team. You can install and use programs like Pan2Applic, PanTool2, and Split2Events without any problems on Mac OS X 10.8.
