129	129	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.

133	133	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.

137		-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. 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.
