The Dartcom XRIT Ingester software automaticallyingests, decrypts, decompresses, archives and outputsLRIT and HRIT data from geostationary satellites.
Images can be automatically processed and animated using theDartcom MacroPro software, then displayed and manipulatedfurther using the Dartcom iDAP software.
Features of the XRIT Ingester software inclu de:
• Handling of all LRIT, HRIT, SAF and GOES ABI level 1b data fromEUMETCast, HimawariCast, GOES, COMS-1 and Electro.
• Fully automatic ingest, output and archiving.
• Multi-threaded for simultaneous ingest from different services.
• Windows 10 and 64-bit compatible.
• Image previews with map overlays and position read-outs.
• Output of image data as Dartcom iDAP images, navigated andcalibrated where possible, and with vector map overlays.
• Output of image data in PCI Geomatica, ERDAS IMAGINE,ENVI/IDL and GeoTIFF formats.
• Output of text and binary data via serial port or TCP/IP socket.
• Full diagnostics facilities with on-screen and email alarms.
• Designed to comply with CGMS and EUMETSAT ground stationspecifications for implementation and timeliness.
General• Automatic ingest and output of all LRIT, HRIT, SAF and GOESABI level 1b data available from EUMETCast, HimawariCast,GOES, COMS-1 and Electro services, with no user interventionrequired after configuration.
• Multi-threaded, layered architecture allowing simultaneous ingestfrom different services and scaling to multiple processors.
• Comprehensive software user guide and help system.
File acquisition• Automatic data transfer from Dartcom USB LRIT and LRIT/HRITreceivers followed by Reed-Solomon decoding, derandomisationand file assembly.
• Automatic file acquisition from DVB software for EUMETCastand HimawariCast.
• Archiving of acquired raw files covering up to 7 days.
• Filtering by service, file type, data type and product, allowingunwanted data to be discarded collectively or selectively.
Decryption and decompression• Automatic decryption of encrypted files via hardware or softwaredecryptor (supplied separately by service provider if required)with archiving of decrypted files covering up to 7 days.
• Automatic decompression of compressed files with archivingcovering up to 366 days, structured in folders by data type, dateand time if required.
Outputs• Automatic preview creation, with map overlays and geographicalposition read-outs on image previews.
• Output of image data as single plane (greyscale) or multi-plane(false colour) Dartcom iDAP images, navigated and calibratedwhere possible, with area selection, sub-sampling by factor or to aspecific size, enhancement and vector map overlays.
• Reprojection and output of image data in PCI Geomatica, ERDASIMAGINE, ENVI/IDL and GeoTIFF formats.
• Output of image data as PGM files, with 8-bit or 16-bit data andheader files for third-party software.
• Output of GOES EMWIN data via serial port or TCP/IP socket forprocessing using software such as Weather Message.
• Output of text data (such as service messages) and binary datavia email, serial port or TCP/IP socket.
• Archiving of output data files covering up to 366 days.
Monitoring and diagnostics• Detailed activity logging, on-screen alarms and email alarms.
• Monitoring of storage space and breaks in data reception.
