Apollo PROJECT is a web server
application for convenient retrieval
of time series data sets from
NanometricsTaurus recorders
and Store files.
It provides options for the user to define complex,
re-usable data retrieval tasks, which, when executed,
result in the download of complete data sets ready
for processing and archive. Apollo PROJECT fully
automates this often repetitive and time consuming
task, tracking data download progress and building
network data files in the format selected by the user.
There is no more convenient way to manage large
data sets across multiple Taurus units.
Benefits
➤ Avoids errors associated with manual downloads,measuring
success and reporting completion status
➤ Outputs data directly in the format of choice avoiding
additional steps in data handling
➤ Supports multiple concurrent data download projects for
efficient data handling and faster turn around times in
portable experiments
➤ Removes the tedium from downloading large data sets from
multiple instruments
Apollo PROJECT: A new conc
Designed to meet your data objectives
Convenient data access and instrument discovery
Apollo PROJECT permits the user to configure complex data recovery projects, each aimed at capturing a specific data set from
multiple Taurus or Store files. Projects are defined for a single
data request or an ongoing data request, such as constructing a
data archive or backup. Defining a number of projects and running them concurrently can greatly simplify data handling, improving turn-around times in portable experiments.
Apollo PROJECT accesses data directly over a network from one or
more Tauruses, from directories on a network drive or from specific
Store files. In portable field experiments, users have the option of
copying data from the Taurus media into a network directory or
simply connecting each Taurus to the central LAN network.
➤ Archive projects
An archive project provides a convenient and simple way to
create a continuous data set from multiple Taurus instruments or Store files. A typical project definition includes the
list of channels to archive, the archive interval or file length
and destination directory structure. Archive projects can be
run repetitively without user intervention, archiving the selected data set.
➤ One-time projects
A one-time project is a simple and convenient way to download a specific time segment from multiple Taurus units or
Store files.
➤ Triggered data
A Trigger project automates the task of creating network
wide data files from a single list of trigger times. Each of the
resulting files contains all data channels for a particular trigger time along with a user defined pre and post event period.
➤ Controlled source
A Controlled Source project is used to create combined
SEGY files with the correct trace order for individual shot or
blast times.
When downloading data over a network, the discovery feature automatically notifies Apollo PROJECT of the presence of available Taurus
instruments. This greatly simplifies connection issues as users are no
longer required to enter IP addresses.
Download tracking and data organization
Today’s digital networks and portable
systems are capable of acquiring huge
volumes of high quality data that must be
organized into usable data sets for processing and long term archive. Apollo
PROJECT simplifies these tasks, organizing
the data into user defined data directories
and tracking and reporting on the completeness of the data requested.
For each project definition, Apollo
PROJECT determines what data it expects
and continuously updates the user on the
progress of the project. When a project is
completed, users can be confident that all
data has been downloaded, converted to
the format of choice and stored in files
according to each user’s requirements.

Familiar web browser interface
No special software is required to configure a project
definition or monitor progress. Any web browser can be
used to connect to the Apollo PROJECT server application.
Frequently used projects can be defined, saved and run multiple times or even scheduled to run periodically. Users have the option of running multiple projects in
parallel thereby minimizing data download times for
efficient field operations.
As Apollo PROJECT is a server application, the user need not be continuously connected to the server for
projects to run.
