Data Viewer Usage in PACE I&T

Overview

Usage of the Data Viewer in PACE I&T has changed since we no longer receive OCI science data in real-time. OCI Science File Archives are stored on-board PACE and downlinked at a later time. OCI HK and GSE data are still received in real-time.

A few updates to the Data Viewer and Science VMs have been made to accomadate for these changes.

We will be running 2 instances of the Data Viewer:

One will be used to look at OCI HK and GSE data in real-time
The other will be used to open OCI Science File Archives (which also contains OCI HK data)

In the bottom right of the VM, you ~~can~~will see 3 workspaces:

The Live workspace contains the Data Viewer that will receive OCI HK and GSE data in real-~~time.~~time from the FEDS. This instance of the Data Viewer works the same as in the OCI I&T environment.

The Playback workspace contains the Data Viewer that will be used to open and view OCI Science File Archives.

The GSE workspace contains an application that archives GSE data locally so it can be merged into the OCI Science File Archives so that OCI Science Data and GSE data can be viewed at the same time. You do not need to worry about this workspace.

Viewing OCI Science Data

To view OCI Science Data, first switch to the Playback workspace.
