Signal level measuring is available for adjustment of the antenna. The Basic Package ingests data from the Acquisition Facility and provide all the necessary tools for basic processing and operation of the receiving station. HRPT is preprocessed and stored into a UNIX file system and automatically processed into calibrated and geocoded products that are stored in the product database. All operations are automatic. The user can display raw data, image files or processed products directly out of the product archive with the MEOS View software.
Processing is both automatic and interactive.
This package is an add-on to the basic package. It is equipped with a PCI expansion cabinet that holds the receiver and frame synchronizer board. The high level of digital and software implementations gives a system that can run with a minimum of maintenance. The software is designed for unattended operation and automatic distribution of images and data to users. Thus an operator is only needed if specific value added processing is desired.
