On-Screen Alerts; Telemetry - Gecko Compact Product User Manual

On-screen Alerts

When an enabled alarm is triggered, a message will appear on the home screen to indicate
which of the two Alarm Outputs has activated, and which parameter triggered the alarm.
The on-screen alert will be cleared after the Alarm Duration time has elapsed if the alarm
condition is no longer true (e.g. when the ground motion subsides after an earthquake).
If the alarm condition persists (e.g. low voltage) the alert will be displayed on the LCD until
the user presses the Right button to dismiss the alert. The on-screen alert for this alarm
will not be displayed again until the condition changes to false (e.g. voltage returns to
normal) and then becomes true again.
The Gecko uses a data ring buffer, which means it will overwrite old data with new data
when the memory card has only 2% storage remaining. A Low Memory alert will be raised
when less than 4% of storage remains.

Telemetry

The Gecko has a communication port to allow streaming of continuous data to a remote
computer. Data is sent using a custom serial protocol that communicates with our "Live
Stream" application (or eqServer) which is used for data acquisition, display, remote
recorder setup, and remote firmware upgrades.
The Gecko can stream data to a remote computer with or without an SD card present. If
Telemetry is enabled on start-up and no SD card is present, it will connect and stream data.
If an SD card is removed or fails during operation, telemetry will continue regardless.
