These status overviews are generated by the script /home/wera/etc/process_SORT.sh

if automatic post-processing of sea-echos is selected under WeraDesk.

In the script status overview creation times (hour and minute) should be configured.

Normally a status overview every few hours is sufficient.

7.4 WERA voltage overview (optional)

If the latest WERA remote control software is running and configured to regularly

measure the voltages and temperatures of the WERA racks, then it will generate a

web page with plots of these parameters over time. This information can be useful to

monitor the status of the electronics power supplies, fans and the air conditioning in

the building.

7.5 WERA DPT (Direct Path Test) comparison overview plots (optional)

If a time window of 2 minutes before the next measurement is available, it can be

useful to activate a Direct Path Test measurement by selecting the check boxes “DPT”

and “Process after Measurement: Calibr. Data” under WeraDesk.

The DPT comparison plots are displaying the main test signal information of the last

DPT for all receive channels in one plot.

Additionally reference data will be shown (derived from a real measurement or theory)

to see, if something has changed since the reference was saved, or to see how well

the phase values fit the theory.

Note that depending on the site (layout, landscape, surrounding infrastructure) the

DPT test signal might not travel the standard path and thus the derived values might

be completely different than the theoretical values.

With these plots problematic receive channels can easily be detected. See the

example plots below.
