< h1 > < a name = "_Toc444450028" > < / a > < a name = "_Toc444450392" > < / a > INSTALLATION < / h1 >
< p class = MsoNormal > The latest version of PAMGuard has been tested on 64 bit
Windows 10 and Windows 11. We expect it to work without problems on 64 bit
versions of Windows 8 and probably 7. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > On Windows, download and run the Windows installer.< / p >
< h2 > Java Installation (old releases only)< / h2 >
< p class = MsoNormal > Releases since 2.01 have all been bundled with a 64 bit Java
Virtual Machine (JVM). These releases will only work on a 64 bit version of
Windows. For these releases you do not need to install any Java versions
yourself. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > For older releases, you will need to install a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) version 7 or 8 separately. Since release 1.15.00 (February 2016)
both 32 and 64 bit JVMs are supported. Since release 1.15.08 the installer
allows you to select whether to install the 64 bit version or the 32 bit
version. The 64 bit JVM allows access to more memory than the 32 bit version
which can be useful when working with many channels or at high sample rates.
You may download Java from the Java website: < a
href="https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp">https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp< / a > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Note that the interface to Microsoft Access databases is not
supported in the 64 bit version or when using a 32 bit Java 8. < / p >
< h1 > < a name = "_Toc444450029" > < / a > < a name = "_Toc444450393" > < / a > STARTING PAMGUARD< / h1 >
< p class = MsoNormal > On Windows, the installers will create shortcuts in the
Windows Start menu.< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > In a Windows operating system you may want to set the
preferences for the launchers (and/or the shortcuts to them) to state that they
should always be run under Administrator privileges. These are required if you
want PAMGUARD to be able to perform actions such as using the GPS time to set
the system clock. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > If using other operating systems such as Linux or Mac OS X
you should be able to launch PAMGUARD via an appropriate command line which
should be something like:< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < em > < span style = 'font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif' > java
-Xms384m -Xmx4096m -Djava.library.path=lib64 -jar Pamguard_xxxxxx.jar< / span > < / em > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > The -Xms384m -Xmx4096m specify the initial and maximum heap
size for the JVM being used to run Pamguard i.e. how much memory it gets to
use. The default max size usually being too low.< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > The -Djava.library.path=lib64 tells the JVM that it should
look in the folder called " lib64" for the required shared libraries
(change to < em > < span style = 'font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif' > lib< / span > < / em >
for the 32 bit version).< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > For " Mixed" and " Viewer" modes just add
a " -m" or " -v" to the list of java arguments. On Windows
just run the appropriately named executable (e.g. PamguardBeta_MixedMode.exe or
PamguardBeta_ViewerMode.exe):< / p >

corresponding clicks from binary data. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Drawing non-acoustic data: Data that were not associated
with any hydrophones, e.g. visual sightings in Logger forms were not drawing on
the map. This fixed and PAMGuard will use the vessels GPS position as
reference. < / p >

early so clips could not be created. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Acquisition <20> Skip initial seconds<64> feature, designed to
remove high sample levels e.g. from calibration tones at start of a soundtrap
recording was not working with the click detector. This is fixed but replacing
all data with 0<> s and still sending data. Note that this may lead to
artificially low noise measures at the start of a file. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Data reprocessing options. Updated to ensure that the option
" Start normally. Note risk of overwriting!" is always available. Also
improved code naming binary files to attempt to push them to exact times,
rather than a couple of seconds after the hour. < / p >

New features in PAMGuard Beta mean that psf files created with new versions are
not compatible wth earlier versions and all configuration data may be lost if
an attempt is made to open newly created psf files with older versions. We have
therefore changed the file extension of psf files to .psfx in new Beta
releases. Beta releases will still load the older psf files, but when the
configuration is saved, the original psf file will remain untouched and data
will be written to a psfx file with the same directory and name.< / p >

2.00.10 June 2017< / span > < / h1 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > PAMGuard Version 2 contains major updates.
You should read and understand these notes before proceeding with installation
and use of this version. These changes have been funded under contract to NOAA
Fisheries, contract no. WE-133F-16-SE-1126.< / span > < / p >
< h3 > < span lang = EN-US > Binary File Structural Changes< / span > < / h3 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > The Binary File structure has changed to
accommodate additional information for each unit of data stored. This means
that any data generated with PAMGuard Version 2.00.00 and above will not be
compatible with older versions of PAMGuard. If you open older data sets with
the PAMGuard Viewer the older data will be converted to the new format (see
below for details).< / span > < / p >
2024-11-02 17:31:48 +00:00
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > The most significant change in the binary
file format is the addition of a Unique Data Identifier (UID) to each unit of
data. This is intended to aid in offline analysis by making it easier for the
user to link what they are seeing on different PAMGuard displays and also to
link with any data post processed in Matlab or other custom analysis software.
UID<EFBFBD> s are also added to PAMGuard database tables. < / span > < / p >
2024-08-26 16:51:10 +00:00
< h4 > < span lang = EN-US > Converting Old Data< / span > < / h4 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > If old data are opened with the PAMGuard
2024-10-02 14:13:12 +00:00
viewer they will automatically be converted. For safety, the original binary
files will not be overwritten and the new data will be placed in a new folder
on your computer with the same path as the old data, but suffixed with
<EFBFBD> _WithUID<EFBFBD> , e.g. if your binary data were previously stored in the folder
C:\MySurvey\binarydata the new data will be written to
C:\MySurvey\binarydata_WithUID. < / span > < / p >
2024-08-26 16:51:10 +00:00
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > The additional UID column will be added to
all database tables and populated with unique values. For data which are stored
in both the binary files and in database tables, the same UID<49> s will be used in
both data stores. < / span > < / p >
< h3 > < span lang = EN-US > New Displays< / span > < / h3 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > A new time based scrolling display has been
added to PAMGuard which can display multiple types of data on the same time
axis. It can for instance be used to display bearings to whistles on a
bearing-time type display similar to that commonly used in the click detector.
Composite display graphs containing data from more than one detector are also
possible. For details, see the PAMGuard help file (Displays / Time Display FX).
Note that this display is only available if you are running Java 8 or later. < / span > < / p >
< h3 > < span lang = EN-US > Event Marking and the Detection Group Localiser< / span > < / h3 >
2024-10-02 14:13:12 +00:00
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > A new system of event marking which can be
used both online and offline has been added to PAMGuard. Details are in the
PAMGuard help file (Displays/Display Marking). Data can be selected on the Map,
the Spectrogram Display and the new Time Display FX in a similar way and sent
to other PAMGuard modules. The new marking and data selection system works with
2024-08-26 16:51:10 +00:00
the new Detection Group Localiser. The Detection Group Localiser extends the
functionality which always existed in the click detector to other types of data
(e.g. Whistles) so that they can be grouped and tracked using target motion
analysis in a similar way. Details of the Detection Group Localiser are in the
PAMGuard help files (Localisation/Detection Group Localiser).< / span > < / p >
< h3 > < span lang = EN-US > Display Colours< / span > < / h3 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > A new system for handling display colours
2024-10-01 14:00:51 +00:00
has been implemented across all PAMGuard displays. This gives greater
flexibility to the user to control how data units are shown. For instance, you
might simply want to show clicks in blue and whistles in green. However, for
clicks and whistles that have been assigned to a Detection Group, you may want
to colour them by the colour assigned to the group. < / span > < / p >

Bug 303. Some ASIO sound cards not working with either ASIO system in PAMGuard.
For the PAMGuard ASIO system, this was due to a data format used by some sound
cards never being properly implemented. For the <20> New ASIO system<65> which is
based on jAsioHost, the unpacking of that format contained a bug which returned
incorrect numbers, so data were swamped with noise. Both systems are now fixed.
By preference, users should use the PAMGuard ASIO system since the JAsioHost
based system seems to drop samples when many channels are running at high
sample rate. < / span > < / p >

< p class = MsoNormal > < span lang = EN-US > Users have often found that PAMGuard can be
'jumpy', i.e. the spectrogram does not scroll smoothly, but pauses for a second
every few seconds. This is caused by the Java garbage collector cleaning up
unused objects in memory. With 64 bit versions, which allow for more memory,
some of these pauses were becoming quite long (due to the increased amount of
memory that needed to be cleaned up). In some circumstances, these pauses were
making data acquisition systems unstable. We have therefore entirely rewritten
the way in which PAMGuard handles arrays of spectrogram data (complex numbers)
so that instead of large numbers of small Java objects there are now fewer,
larger, simpler java objects. These reduce processing delays for garbage
collection and give an overall speed improvement, but will otherwise not be
noticed by users. < / span > < / p >

older binary files, however, with previous PAMGuard releases if a newer file

newer and would attempt to read the files and might even corrupt them. Now it
will recognise that it cannot open the files, display appropriate error
messages and not attempt to read the files. NOTE that at this time there are no
planned file format changes and that this is purely a future proofing exercise.< / p >

< p class = MsoNormal > This module, funded by the Australian Antarctic Division
allows the de-multiplexing and calculation of angles from military style DIFAR
sonobuoys. See online help for details. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > MEAL Localiser< / i > (Localisation Group)< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > This module, developed by Jamie Macaulay of St Andrews
University estimates the 3D localisation of clicks using a variety of
algorithms. It's primarily been developed to track harbour porpoise in three
dimensions over scales of 10's of metres. While currently only working with
output from the click detector, we hope eventually to extend its use to
whistles as well. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Accelerometer Readout< / i > (Sensors group)< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > This module, funded by NOAA for the South West Fisheries
Science Centre (SWFSC), measures pitch and roll from analogue accelerometer
sensors in a hydrophone. Data are fed real time into the updated hydrophone
array manager in order that bearings from a tetrahedral tracking array are
correctly calculated in real world coordinates. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Wild ArcGIS Interface< / i > (Maps and Mapping group)< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > This module, developed by Michael Oswald / SWFSC, allows
PAMGuard to output data in a format suitable for display in the WILD ArcGIS
marine mammal survey package. See online help for details. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Alarms< / i > (Utilities Group)< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > This is a general system of visual and audio alarms
developed by Doug Gillespie for use on a variety of projects. The alarms can be
coupled to any module or detector in PAMGuard. Where appropriate, modules can
control which of their data will cause an alarm action (e.g. in the Click
detector you can set which types of classified click will fire the alarm). See
online help for details. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Noise Band Monitor< / i > (Sound Processing Group)< / p >

< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Hydrophone Configuration< / i > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > The hydrophone configuration system within PAMGuard has been
substantially rewritten, partly so that it can support multiple remote buoys
(e.g. DIFAR buoys) each of which needs to be localised individually. As a
consequence, the layout of the Array Manager dialog will appear somewhat
different. Details are available in the online help. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > FLAC File Support< / i > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Can now read raw audio data direct from FLAC files. < a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC">FLAC< / a > is a lossless compression
algorithm for audio data. Files, or folders of files are accessed in the same
way as WAV and AIFF files in the Sound Acquisition module. In a future release
we also hope to provide support for writing FLAC files from the sound recorder
module. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Sound Recorder Module< / i > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Now supports writing 8 and 24 bit as well as 16 bit files.
Also writes data to dated sub folders, starting a new folder each day (UTC).
Also provides additional information on disk space on the main display panel.
Millisecond time is also now included in the output file names. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Datagram Options< / i > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Datagram options in Viewer have been improved so that the
user has to verify the time binning for datagrams the first time the viewer is
run and can also change the time bins from the File menu (See the
File/BinaryStore/Datagram options menu. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > < i > Viewer Configuration< / i > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > The Viewer configuration is now saved into a separate

< h2 > Version 1.9.00 Beta April 2010< / h2 >
< p class = MsoNormal > < b > Channel numbering< / b > < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > A new internal channel numbering scheme for ASIO sound cards
was released on 8 March in Alpha version 1.8.02. These changes have now been
promoted to this Beta release 1.9.00. These changes were described in an email
to PAMGUARD User, the text of which is repeated here:< / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Within PAMGUARD, there have been constant problems with
lookup tables relating hardware channel numbers to internal channel numbers.
99.9% of the time, this is not a problem since people are just reading channels
0 and 1 from a normal sound card or a list of channels 0,1,2,3, etc from an
ASIO card or National Instruments card. However, when using the ASIO sound
acquisition system, it is possible to read out hardware channels 2,3,4,5 say
and those numbers would propagate through PAMGUARD and be used by all the
detectors. While this gave some clarity to the displays, it also created
a number of problems since look up tables were constantly required to relate
hardware numbers and software numbers in every PAMGUARD module. Since this type
of channel numbering was only implemented several years into the PAMGUARD
project, it was never fully implemented or well supported by the different
modules which resulted in a number of bugs which could cause confusion as to
which hydrophones were being used during localisation or during calibrated
measurement. The situation tended to only arise with a small number of ASIO
sound cards such as the RME Fireface 400 on which the most useful inputs, the
balanced line inputs, are hardware channels 4,5,6 and 7 on the back of the instrument.
(On the Fireface 800, the balanced line inputs are channels 0 to 7). When using
the National Instruments system, data were always sent into the rest of
PAMGUARD with sequential channel numbering starting at 0. This was required in
order to support multiple NI Daq boards where it is possible to read for
example channel 0 and 1 on two different devices, so to uniquely identify
channels in the rest of PAMGUARD, the only rational thing to do was to re-label
those channels 0,1,2,3. < / p >
2024-08-27 08:13:30 +00:00
< p class = MsoNormal > There have been other annoyances with the ASIO channel
numbering scheme. For instance, if you had a configuration which worked in real
time using channels 7 and 8 of a sound card, you could not use that same
2024-08-26 16:51:10 +00:00
configuration to analyse wav files, which would always read their data as
channels 0 and 1. Similarly if you switched sound cards, you may have to
reconfigure every detector and several of the displays to handle the changes in
channel numbering. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to work
out a better system for handling channel numbering in PAMGUARD and have decided
that the only practical thing to do is to force all software channel numbering
back to a zero indexed system. i.e. even if you read out hardware channels
3,4,5 and 6, within PAMGUARD, everywhere apart from the Sound acquisition
dialog, you will see them listed as channels 0,1,2 and 3. The
consequences of doing this are mainly very good. Most users will not notice any
changes. For those who need for some reason to read channel numbers not
starting at zero things will be more stable. However, when you go to a new
version with this new feature, it will be necessary to reconfigure all the
modules in any existing configurations. To do this, open the configuration
dialog for each module in turn and select the correct, zero indexed, channel
number. < / p >

< / span > Play back of high frequency wav files through National Instruments (NI)
cards: When analysing wav files, sound can be output at high frequency
(depending on the specification of the NI card). The primary motivation for
this has been to develop a test bed for high frequency sound acquisition
whereby we can play 500kHz recordings of harbour porpoise out of an NI card on
one machine, into NI cards on a different machine which are testing high
frequency versions of the click detector.< / p >

feed into to a maximum likelihood estimate of angles from small 2D or 3D sub
arrays to give two polar angle coordinates. this can be used to resolve left
right ambiguity and is implemented for both the click and the whistle/moan
detectors. As a result, the click detector bearing time display can now be set
to go from -180 to 180 degrees rather than 0 - 180 degrees. In this case,
clicks in the upper half of the bearing display will be to port and clicks in
the right half will be to starboard. As you pass a whale which is to port, the
clicks will move UP the display. In the long term, I hope to turn this display
around so that time is up the screen rather than across. < / p >

< p class = MsoNormal > A model manager and profiler, whereby users can add/remove
modules as required. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Modules now include configurable click and whistle detectors
and Ishmael-type detectors and localisers. < / p >
< p class = MsoNormal > Information from above modules can be displayed on
configurable user displays which support real time scrolling spectrograms and
radar displays. Detection and localisation information can be optionally
displayed on the map display.Map enhancements include improved scrolling
whereby the user can click and drag to pan the area. PamGuard can now interface
with MySQL database servers and users can easily select which information is
logged. (This replaces the previous 'flat-file' logging feature). A simulation
module allows virtual vocalising animals to be placed on the map to assist in
training and development. Extensive online user help has been added to PamGuard
