These are what we use for our internal experiments. **Note that this gain must be removed when exporting to miniseed, **otherwise amplitudes will be a factor of either 15.84893192 (24db) or 2 (6db) too high. We also recommend disabling bluetooth to increase battery life, and to enable "FIFO" mode just in case old data is still present on the units and you run out of space (although it is unlikely you will go over 64 Gb for one deploy). If using the "timed turn-on" option, please be aware that **the units will not begin recording until they have acquired a GPS lock**, which may nor occur if they are buried too deeply or have very poor sky view.

374 -Set 16 nodes into the charging box (spikes up)
375 -
376 -Red lights on the box next to the batteries will come on and remain a steady red light while charging. This will change to orange, then to green, then to flashing green when fully charged.
377 -
378 -This is a good time to check the "C" box on your temporary labels to mark that the unit has been charged

384 -== Downloading and Converting Data to MiniSeed ==
385 -
386 -
387 -The first thing to do is to register the nodes in the system, so the software can recognize them. To do this, go to the folder where the “SmartSoloApps SoloLite” was installed. Then right-click the deviceconfig.exe program to “run as an administrator” and save the file to the directory of “deviceconfig” (snapshot below). Note that to avoid registering the same node twice, you can simply replace the file each time you do the registration.
388 -
389 -[[image:1705195543887-977.png]]
390 -
391 -
392 -Then open the “SoloLite” software, and just go to “File” to make a new project. In this case, you do not need to find the exact 16 nodes that were grouped for script writing. Do not worry about the settings for the seismic recordings for the next window to pop up, as the only way to reset the instruments (e.g., sampling rate, gain etc) is to write script to re-program them.

394 -[[image:1705195543890-537.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center"]]
395 -
396 -
397 -Once you create the new project, your Data Transfer View panel on the bottom right of the window will show these nodes that have properly connected to the data harvest, including series number, data size etc. It is okay if the “Prospect not matched”, which simply means the project you just created does not match the one you made to program them. Simply select all these nodes, and right click to “force download”, which will initiate the downloading process. Once they are done, you will see new folders created for each slot at your Downloaded Data panel on the top left of the window.

400 -
401 -At this stage, it means that the raw DLL data of the recording has been downloaded successfully to your local machine. To output data in readable format, such as SAC or miniSEED, click the “Tool” menu and select “export seismic data”. The parameters here should be straightforward to set and tailored to personal reference.

411 -)))
412 -
413 -A list of ANU group preferred parameters can be found at the end of this session. One thing to note is that the “Sample Interval” must be set exactly to this used to reset the nodes. Once you are done with the setting, click “prepare” before “run”. If everything works correctly, you should see the reformatting process from the small panel on the bottom left of this popped up window.

415 -Now the data should be ready. Then you can select these data and right click to output the GPS information associated with them.

428 -Start and endtime: the system will automatically find the earliest time of the data and set that as the starting time. However, you can set the time a day earlier with a sharp start of 00:00:00. In this case, all the outputted data segments will be 24 hours long starting from midnight.
