ADEPT Control Panel

ADEPT is running

Data acquisition in ADEPT is controlled by the shutdown column in the database, in a table named "general". To shut down data acquisition, set the contents of that column (there is only one row in the table) to true.

Each data center has one or more processes running separately to request and process data. After acquiring data for a given earthquake, each process checks the shutdown flag to determine whether it should continue with a new earthquake or shut down. Since acquiring and processing data for an earthquake may take minutes or hours, there may be a considerable lag between setting the shutdown flag and the ending of acquisition. The Manage > Data Log menu item will let you determine if all data acquisition processes have stopped.

To restart data acquisition after a shutdown, three steps are required:

(1) log into the server as user adept, and change to the code directory
(2) in the database, set the contents of the general.shutdown column to false
(3) in a persistent terminal window (i.e., type "screen"), run python3 AllData.py
