Palm Field Controller (PFC_130) software.

REF TEK has developed Palm Field Controller (PFC_130) software for Command/Control of 130 family Recorders in the field. PFC_130 is a Palm OS program for use on the ruggedized Personal Digital Assistant's (PDA's) with Palm 3.5 or 4.1 OS. PFC_130 is used to edit and program the acquisition parameters of the 130 Recorder via the Serial connector. The user can communicate with and operate a 130 Recorder in the field to provide full control station during portable or permanent seismic stations deployment. Following are some of the information provided by PFC_130 to the user:

	PFC-130 provides two major functions: Control and Configuration of parameters for the 130 family of Recorders.	Control functions include DAS status (including acquisition, GPS, disk, etc.), telemetry configuration (NET), data monitor, sensor control, disk and RAM control, manual time set and reset of the DAS
	Ethernet communication via NET connector supports TCP/IP, UDP/IP, FTP and RTP protocols with standard network configuration.	Serial communication via NET connector supports PPP, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, FTP and RTP protocols via Asynchronous RS-232 communication
	Monitor function allows the user to view data to verify that all connections are setup properly before the experiment starts.	The user can format the REF TEK supplied CF drives used for data storage in the field before or during the experiment.
	DAS parameters can be pre-programmed in the lab, loaded from the DAS or setup in the field at the user's choice.	Flexible menu allows the user to setup the 130 family Recorders for many different applications.
