Software
Description
The system operation is controlled directly from a Topside computer running
dedicated Neptune 5000 control and data acquisition software. Transmission
from the PC uses either standard RS232 protocol at 19,200 baud or Ethernet.
The data is transmitted to the telemetry system housed in the Topside Control
Box.
Specification
The Neptune 5000 control and acquisition computer software requires a
Personal Computer (PC) that meets the following minimum requirements.
Operational Information
Please refer to the Software manual for information on operating the Control
and Data Acquisition Software.
Maintenance
The only means of maintaining the software is to ensure that the hard drive
has plenty of space and that running processes on the computer are kept to a
minimum, thus allowing the software to run at maximum speed with no delay.
Removing any unwanted applications can be achieved by navigating to the
computers control panel and then selecting “Add/Remove Programs”.
It is also good practice to regularly run the Scandisk software (recommended
once every month), to ensure that the hard disk is in good condition. Another
recommendation is to ensure that good housekeeping practices are adopted
with regards to file names and locations. This enables the data files from every
push job to be located easily and quickly.
