ISTI's 11th Earthworm Course, Nov 29-Dec 3 2011, San Francisco, CA
Earthworm Course XI -- conveniently offered the week before AGU, at The Palomar hotel, right down the street from the Moscone conference center.
This course will teach the basics of setting up an EarthWorm (EW) system, compiling all of the source code, learning the Earthworm library APIs, and writing an earthworm module. It will be useful to anybody managing an Earthworm system and interested in writing a new EW module, or modifying existing EW modules.

Course Outline (time permitting):
- 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.
- Earthworm configuration nuances - tricks and problems with earthworm configurations.
- Basic modules for troubleshooting: sniffwave, sniffring, getmenu, logging review, debug and verbosity flags.
- Advanced Earthworm modules - we will review an existing and running Earthworm system (Caltech) that processes over 370 stations. In addition we will cover AQMS for those students interested in learning more about the new systems.
- 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.
- 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.
- Locating Events - The Picker/Binder and Earthworm MegaModule will be explored and parameters explained.
- 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).
