6.3.1 Timing

This column details the instrument's GPS timing status. The colours
are the same as those used for the top half of the instrument's icon in

the main window. Double-click on a column entry to see the status
messages coming from that instrument.

Grey

: Scream! has not received any GPS information from the

instrument since the last reset.

Green

: The instrument has reported a satisfactory GPS timing fix.

Yellow

: The instrument has reported a gap in the timing stream. This

may occur if the GPS signal deteriorates to the point where the
receiver cannot keep a lock on the satellites.

Red

: The instrument has not reported a satisfactory timing fix for over

an hour. This will happen if there have been gaps in the signal (as

above), but also if it has not reported anything. If you have set the GPS
system to power down for intervals longer than an hour, the icon will

turn red even if the system is working normally.

6.3.2 Mass position

This column details the instrument's mass position status.

Double-click on a column entry to open a Waveview window on the
instrument's mass position channels.

Note: some instruments must be switched to

one-second response mode for these channels to give
meaningful data.

Grey

: Scream! has not received any mass positions information from

the instrument since the last reset.

Green

: The instrument has reported satisfactory mass positions (all

components < 25% of full scale).

Yellow

: One or more components are reporting mass positions

between 25% and 50% of full scale. Most instrument types will still
function normally, but the masses should be re-centred when it is next

convenient.

Red

: One or more components are reporting mass positions over 50%

of full scale. Most instrument types will still function adequately, but
the masses should be re-centred as a matter of urgency.
