Once all are connected, try restarting the software for them to be recognised. 251 +* If a node is refusing to connect, try it with another slot. It is easiest if you place all 16 nodes on the harvester, and swap any nodes that refuse to connect with each other. 252 +* Nodes will likely not show up in the order that they should, though this is not an issue. E.g, a node in slot 6 on the harvester may show up in port 13 in the SoloLite software. Annoying, but it doesn't matter so long as you keep track of what's been harvested! 253 + 254 + 255 + 241 241 == Node Registration and Software Setup == 242 242 243 243 1.

If you notice your data has large time offsets, you should suspect that the number of leap seconds has not been accounted properly. There is a file "smartsoloconfig.xml" that needs to be present in "C:\SmartSoloApps SoloLite" (e.g. the main program directory) that dictates the leap second offset for the last two data ranges. Since 2017-01-01, this is 18 seconds. 326 + 327 +If this file is missing, just create a new one structured like so, name it "smartsoloconfig.xml" and put it in your main program directory. Then, Reanalyze your data (tools > Reanalyze seismic data) and your data should have the correct time. You can also do this manually, if you want. The offset is 18 seconds precisely. 328 + 329 +{{code language="none"}} 330 +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 331 +<config> 332 + <leapsecond> 333 + <interval> 334 + <start_time>2017-01-01#00:00:00</start_time> 335 + <end_time>2999-12-31#23:59:59</end_time> 336 + <second>18</second> 337 + </interval> 338 + <interval> 339 + <start_time>1970-01-01#00:00:00</start_time> 340 + <end_time>2017-01-01#00:00:00</end_time> 341 + <second>17</second> 342 + </interval> 343 + </leapsecond> 344 + <GPS_distance_threshold_degree> 345 + 4e-5 346 + </GPS_distance_threshold_degree> 347 +</config> 348 +{{/code}} 349 + 350 + 287 287 == Handling Nodes During Download == 288 288 289 289 1.
