Make sure you have a Tethys Server running. The PAMGuard interface will - only work with Tethys 3.
-Check the server connection. If PAMGuard has correctly connected to the Tethys server, the top panel of the display will be a normal - grey colour. If the connection cannot be made, the panel will be orange.
-If required, change the server settings using the "Select Sever" button
++ Make sure you have a Tethys Server running. The PAMGuard interface will + only work with Tethys + 3 or later. The section below specifies how to set the + address of Tethys server address as well as determine if + PAMGuard can communicate successfully with Tethys. (The top + panel will be orange if communication is not working. +
++ The Tethys Server field next to the picture of the goddess Tethys + indicates the address of the Tehtys server. To change this field, + click on the gear icon. You will be prompted to provide a computer + address (URL) and a port. The address should start with http:// + followed by the machine name or internet protocol address unless + the Tethys server has been configured to use an encrypted + connection. In this case, start the address with https://. +
+ ++ By default, PAMGuard will use http://localhost:9779 which + assumes that your Tethys server is running on the same computer as + PAMGuard and that it expects communication on port 9779, the + default port (administrators may change this). +
+ ++ If PAMGuard can communicate with the Tethys server, the + Connection and Project panel will be light grey. If + communication is not possible, the panel will be colored + orange. Likely causes for communication failure are: +
+Either select an existing "Project", or create a new one.
-You also need to give Tethys more information about the instrument(s) or arrays you've deployed than in previous PAMGuard versions. Again, select an - existing instrument, or set up a new one. You'll notice that this information is held with the rest of the PAMGuard array management information.
+ ++ Projects are names used by Tethys to help track work that should + be considered together, such as a series of deployments designed + to answer a specific question or funded under a specific + grant. If you do not already have a project defined in your + PAMGuard database, you can click the "New Project" button in the + "Connection and Project details" section of the Tethys + module. This will start a dialog that asks for a case-sensitive + project name and a geographic region. The geographic region is + for convenience, PAMGuard and Tethys track information by + longitude and latitude, but sometimes it is helpful to query for + information with respect to a geographic name such as Channel + Islands National Marine Sanctuary. +
+ ++ The array instrumentation is selected from a drop-down menu next + to the Instruments label. A dropdown menu next to the label + “Instruments” shows the list of hydrophone arrays. These are + likely to have been previously established prior to starting + analysis of your data by using the menu Settings -> Hydrophone + Array. + +
+ ++ If you are a long-time user of PAMGuard, you will notice + additional fields are required for instrumentation: Instrument + Type and Instrument Id. The type indicates what type of + instrument is being used and may be generic such as a mooring or + array or denote a specific instrument such as a HARP, Rock + Hopper, SoundTrap, etc. The Id is a unique identifier for the + instrument such as a serial number. Note that if you are using + an older PAMGuard database, you may see a blank entry in the + instruments list as these new fields will not have been + populated. Press new/edit to access the instrument settings + from the Tethys module page. +
It's best to export data in the sequence the panels are laid out in on the PAMGuard display, i.e. Calibrations, then Deployments, and finally Detections.
-To export the calibration data, press the "Export..." button at the top of the "Instrument Calibration Information" panel. -
Most of the calibration data is taken from the array manager and from the sound acquisition module. However, PAMGuard will ask a few questions about - HOW the instrument was calibrated, when it was done and who is responsible. Fill in as much information as you can! - IF the export is successful, a record will show for each hydrophone (or sensor) in your instrument array in the calibration information table:
