Course Outline (time permitting):

1. Earthworm setup - basics of getting started, the class will configure an earthworm system with a datalogger. We will store the data into a WaveServerV and Winston Waveserver and pull data out to files.
2. Earthworm configuration nuances - tricks and problems with earthworm configurations.
3. Basic modules for troubleshooting: sniffwave, sniffring, getmenu, logging review, debug and verbosity flags.
4. Advanced Earthworm modules - we will review an existing and running Earthworm system (Caltech) that processes over 370 stations.
5. Earthworm library - learn the basic earthworm API's for messaging, logging, configuration, threads, and wave server API/protocol. How to make sure the work you do to a library is compatible across operating systems etc.
6. Playback - how to playback events for tuning a system: waveman2disk, trig2disk, and tankplayer. The class will work with an existing tank and run it through the picker, binder, and hyp2000 via the Earthworm MegaModule.
7. Locating Events - The Picker/Binder and Earthworm MegaModule will be explored and parameters explained.
8. Programming an EW module - the class will write an earthworm module that reads in trace data from a wave_ring and performs some calculations on the data. (This will be done if time permits).
