mode carry on recording, and do not send these messages. (This does

not work with DCMs, EAMs and NAMs: only SAMs.)

Scream Start / Stop : Generated by Scream! when it starts, and when it

shuts down cleanly. If a computer suffers a sudden loss of power or is
not shut down properly, Scream will not be able to respond in time so

you will not see a Scream Stop message.

Scream recording stopped : Whenever recording fails for a particular

stream, because of a write error on the local disk. Check that the disk
is not full, and that you have write access to the relevant directories. If

you have Auto Record – Enable active and have set recording to GCF
format, replaying a previously-recorded GCF file will cause Scream! to

attempt to record to the same file, causing this error. The file will be
undamaged.

GPS Control Timeout : Generated if Scream! has previously received
satisfactory GPS synchronization messages, but has not received any

within the last 12 hours. Scream! will not send another GPS Control
Timeout
message until GPS operation resumes, at which point it will

restart the 12-hour timer.

Digitiser Trigger Report : Whenever the digitiser triggers. Scream!

determines this from lines in status messages, and not from the data
streams. Accordingly, there may be a slight delay between a trigger

and this message. The contents of the status lines are repeated in the
message.

Mass Positions : Generated if an instrument reports a mass position
above the value you specify, expressed as a percentage of the

maximum possible value. Most Güralp instruments can operate
satisfactorily with mass positions up to 50% of their travel; some can

operate with significantly higher mass positions.

Disk Full Warning : Generated if the amount of data on the hard disk

exceeds a specified percentage of the size of the disk.
