Setup Procedure for NEESPOP prior to Testing

Transcription

1 Setup Procedure for NEESPOP prior to Testing The following instructions describe the procedure to send data to the RDV (Remote Data Viewer). 1. Camera Setup 1.1. Put cameras on tripods in the desired location Plug in Axis Box to wall power outlet. Plug network cable from High Bay jack to the Data to Wall jack on Axis box. Plug white cable from the Data and Power jack on Axis Box to the data jack on Camera Box. Plug Camera Box to data port and power port If cameras are properly connected, they will set themselves to home position in about 20 to 30 seconds Verify that cameras are sending data by checking video feed from flextps server (See Instructions for Using Flextps for how to do this). 2. NEESPOP Server Setup (see Fig. 1) (Note: In order to view camera feed in the RDV, cameras must be online (sending data) before starting the NEESPOP server. IT must be contacted to set up individual accounts to access the server) 2.1. Reboot the NEESPOP server Run PuTTY In the Session category, type neespop.umr.edu under Host Name. This will bring up a PuTTY window Login using your UMR user ID Type sudo sh at the $ prompt Type in your UMR user password Type /sbin/shutdown now r at the # prompt to restart the NEESPOP server, then exit the PuTTY window and wait 2-3 minutes to give the server time to restart.

2 2.2. Modify the Filename used to save the data (cameras, RDV) for each test Run PuTTY In the Session category, type neespop.umr.edu under Host Name. This will bring up a PuTTY window Login using your UMR user ID Type sudo sh at the $ prompt Type in your UMR user password Change to directory etc/init.d. Additional unix commands are in Table Move to the root directory by a series of cd Move to final directory by typing cd etc, and cd init.d Check the working directory by typing pwd Edit garycam1, garycam2, and garybluebox Enter the text editor for garycam1 by typing vi garycam Change the name of the file by editing the line CAMERA= cam1_m?? Addition unix commands for text editing are in Table Replace M?? with the name of the specimen (e.g. M07) Save the changes and exit the editor Start/Stop sending data (cameras, RDV) to the server Change to directory etc/init.d. See for a complete procedure A single script can be entered to start sending data to the RDV and recording data for camera 1, camera 2, and the bluebox in a single command or with separate commands. See Table 3 for additional commands and information Single command:./garystart (See Fig. 2) Individual commands: Send files to RDV:./rbnb start. Record camera 1:./garycam1 start. Record camera 2:./garycam2 start. Record bluebox:./garybluebox start Check that all four commands have been successfully executed Type ps -ef. The four processes shown in Fig. 3 starting with java should be running Stop recording and sending data using single command or individual commands: Single command:./garystop Individual commands: Send files to RDV:./rbnb stop. Record camera 1:./garycam1 stop. Record camera 2:./garycam2 stop. Record bluebox:./garybluebox stop Check that all four commands have been successfully executed Type ps -ef. 12/5/ of 9

Send Bluebox (DAQ) Data to RDV 3.1. Start Labview and Open Bluebox.vi located in C:\NEES which is the NEES version of Labview Select channels to record and send to the RDV (See Fig. 4) Click the RUN arrow in Labview to record data and wait until all four green lights shown in Fig. 5 are lit, at which point, data is being sent to the RDV The channels sent to the RDV are listed in Labview as shown in Fig Verify in the RDV that the data is being sent (See Instructions for Using RDV for how to do this). 12/5/ of 9

7 Instructions for Using Flextps The Flextps is used to view the video feed and control the cameras. The public feeds do not require a login and only allow the video feed to be viewed. The private feeds require a login and allow the cameras to be controlled (pan, zoom, tilt, frame rate) in addition to the video feed. The following procedure describes how to access the public and private feeds. 4. Open Mozilla Foxfire web browser and go to (Mozilla can be downloaded for free at: 5. For the Public Feed, click on Local Video Click on Highbay 1 for Camera 1 or Highbay 2 for Camera For the Private Feed, type in the login and password ( civil and caverm09 ). Don t share this password with non-umr people because then they could move the cameras during the test! 6.1. Click on Highbay 1 for Camera 1 or Highbay 2 for Camera 2. Instructions for Using RDV The RDV (Remote Data Viewer) is used to view the data and video feeds. 1. The first time RDV is run, the JRE Java Runtime Environment will need to be installed. After JRE 1.5 is installed the first time, this Step 1 can be skipped Visit the site: java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Click on Download JRE 5.0 Update Click on accept license agreement Click on Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language (the 16.0 MB version) and run the setup program. 2. Open Mozilla Foxfire web browser and go to 3. If this is the first time RDV has been used, or a new version has been released, click on Download RDV Click on Launch RDV 1.2 which will bring up an RDV window after a minute or two. 5. Click File, then Connect, and then type neespop.umr.edu next to host and 3333 next to port. This will bring up multiple data sources in the left-hand column under the heading Channels. The current data from the cameras and bluebox (DAQ) will be listed under cam1_mxx, cam2_mxx, and bluebox_mxx where the MXX is the specimen name (e.g. M07). You can either select your own grouping of data (custom setup) or open a pre-made setup created to view key channels. Custom Setup 5.1. To view the video feed from camera 1, click on cam1_mxx and then doubleclick on video.jpg. 12/5/ of 9

8 5.2. To view the video feed from camera 2, click on cam2_mxx and then doubleclick on video.jpg To view the data from the Bluebox, click on bluebox_mxx, and then doubleclick on the data channel to be viewed To create an XY plot with the Bluebox data, click on Window and then double-click on Add XY Data Panel grouping of data display a custom : Bluebox, Camera 1, and Camera 2. Click RT (real time) to view the current data Click and drag the channel for the X-axis over the XY data panel Click and drag the channel for the Y-axis over the XY data panel. Pre-made Setup 5.6. Download the setup file UMR-NEES-MXX.rdv from the UMR website: web.umr.edu/~bridgcol 5.7. In the RDV window, click on File and then click on Load Setup. Select the.rdv file downloaded in the previous step. 12/5/ of 9

9 Procedure for Converting RBNB Data to JPG Image Files The following instructions describe the procedure to send data to the RDV (Remote Data Viewer). 1. Run the script to convert the rbnb data images to picture picture files (jpg) 1.1. The JpgSaverSink script has several parameters: Start time, given in the format YYYY-MM-DD:hh:mm:ss.sss (where YYYY is the year, MM is the two digit month, DD is the two digit day, hh is the two digit hour, mm is the two digit minute, and ss.sss is the two digit seconds to three decimal places). Given after S switch End time, given in same format as start time. Given after E switch Name of file image data was saved under in the /nees.rbnb/v2.5/ directory. Given after n switch Destination directory for the jpg files. Given after d 1.2. For example, type: java org.nees.rbnb.jpgsaversink S :16:00: E :16: n cam1_m06 d /nees/video/gary to write convert five minutes worth of files from Specimen M06. The output for this script is shown in Fig. 7. Fig The jpg files are still on the server. To copy the files off of your computer, use a program like WinSCP. 12/5/ of 9

10 1. Camera Functionality Check Follow the steps in Camera Setup. Follow the NEESPoP Server Setup and give the camera feed name. Check the video feed from flextps server, for this follow the Instructions for using flextps. In Putty go to cd etc/init.d directory and give the command ps -ef and check the camera functionality. Check the camera feed in RDV; for this follow the Instructions for Using RDV. It is better to watch the camera feed video for every four hours in RDV and check the time stampings on pictures. After completion of each days work stop the camera feed to the server by following the commands in NEESPoP Server Setup. Before starting the experiment start the camera by following the commands in NEESPoP Server Setup and check the camera functionality in Putty and RDV. Open the WinSCP-Secure ftp Clint and go to folder nees/rbnb/v2.5 and watch the size of folder and number of folders. For correct functionality after new start of camera, data should be saved in a new folder. All the above procedure is valid for checking Blue box data.
