## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
### Seismo Lab (main GUI)
|
||||
### ACH inbound server (production)
|
||||
|
||||
The all-in-one tool. Three tabs: **Bridge**, **Analyzer**, **Console**.
|
||||
Listens for inbound unit call-homes, downloads all new events and monitor log
|
||||
entries, and writes everything to `bridges/captures/seismo_relay.db`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python bridges/ach_server.py --port 12345 --output bridges/captures/
|
||||
```
|
||||
python seismo_lab.py
|
||||
|
||||
Point the unit's ACEmanager **Remote Host** to this machine's IP and **Remote Port** to `12345`.
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
```
|
||||
--port N Listen port (default 12345)
|
||||
--output DIR Capture directory (default bridges/captures/)
|
||||
--allow-ip IP Allowlist an IP (repeat for multiple; default: accept all)
|
||||
--max-events N Safety cap for first run (default: unlimited)
|
||||
--clear-after-download Erase device memory after successful download
|
||||
--verbose Debug logging
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### SFM REST server
|
||||
|
||||
Exposes MiniMate Plus commands as a REST API for integration with other systems.
|
||||
Exposes device control and DB queries as a REST API. Proxied by terra-view.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd sfm
|
||||
uvicorn server:app --reload
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python sfm/server.py # default: 0.0.0.0:8200
|
||||
python -m uvicorn sfm.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8200 --reload
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Endpoints:**
|
||||
Open `http://localhost:8200` for the embedded web UI, or `http://localhost:8200/docs`
|
||||
for the interactive API docs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Seismo Lab GUI
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python seismo_lab.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## SFM REST API
|
||||
|
||||
### Live device endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Each call dials the device, does its work, and closes the connection. TCP
|
||||
connections are retried once on `ProtocolError` to handle cold-boot timing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Caching** — frequently-polled endpoints are cached in-process to avoid
|
||||
redundant TCP round-trips:
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | URL | Cache |
|
||||
|--------|-----|-------|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/info` | Indefinite; invalidated by `POST /device/config` |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/events` | Count-probe fast path (~2s); full download only when new events detected |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/event/{idx}/waveform` | Permanent per event index |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/monitor/status` | 30-second TTL |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/device/connect` | — |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/device/config` | Writes compliance config; invalidates cache |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/device/monitor/start` | Sends SUB 0x96 |
|
||||
| `POST` | `/device/monitor/stop` | Sends SUB 0x97 |
|
||||
|
||||
All cached endpoints accept `?force=true` to bypass the cache.
|
||||
|
||||
Transport query params (supply one set):
|
||||
```
|
||||
Serial: ?port=COM5&baud=38400
|
||||
TCP: ?host=1.2.3.4&tcp_port=12345
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### DB read endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
Query the SQLite database written by `ach_server.py`. All read-only except
|
||||
`PATCH /db/events/{id}/false_trigger`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | URL | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-----|-------------|
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/info?port=COM5` | Device info via serial |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/info?host=1.2.3.4&tcp_port=9034` | Device info via cellular modem |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/events?port=COM5` | Event index |
|
||||
| `GET` | `/device/event?port=COM5&index=0` | Single event record |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Seismo Lab tabs
|
||||
|
||||
### Bridge tab
|
||||
|
||||
Captures live RS-232 traffic between Blastware and the seismograph. Sits in
|
||||
the middle as a transparent pass-through while logging everything to disk.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Blastware → COM4 (virtual) ↔ s3_bridge ↔ COM5 (physical) → MiniMate Plus
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Set your COM ports and log directory, then hit **Start Bridge**. Use
|
||||
**Add Mark** to annotate the capture at specific moments (e.g. "changed
|
||||
trigger level"). When the bridge starts, the Analyzer tab automatically wires
|
||||
up to the live files and starts updating in real time.
|
||||
|
||||
### Analyzer tab
|
||||
|
||||
Parses raw captures into DLE-framed protocol sessions, diffs consecutive
|
||||
sessions to show exactly which bytes changed, and lets you query across all
|
||||
historical captures via the built-in SQLite database.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Inventory** — all frames in a session, click to drill in
|
||||
- **Hex Dump** — full payload hex dump with changed-byte annotations
|
||||
- **Diff** — byte-level before/after diff between sessions
|
||||
- **Full Report** — plain text session report
|
||||
- **Query DB** — search across all captures by SUB, direction, or byte value
|
||||
|
||||
Use **Export for Claude** to generate a self-contained `.md` report for
|
||||
AI-assisted field mapping.
|
||||
|
||||
### Console tab
|
||||
|
||||
Direct connection to a MiniMate Plus — no bridge, no Blastware. Useful for
|
||||
diagnosing field units over cellular without a full capture session.
|
||||
|
||||
**Connection:** choose Serial (COM port + baud) or TCP (IP + port for
|
||||
cellular modem).
|
||||
|
||||
**Commands:**
|
||||
| Button | What it does |
|
||||
|--------|-------------|
|
||||
| POLL | Startup handshake — confirms unit is alive and identifies model |
|
||||
| Serial # | Reads unit serial number |
|
||||
| Full Config | Reads full 166-byte config block (firmware version, channel scales, etc.) |
|
||||
| Event Index | Reads stored event list |
|
||||
|
||||
Output is colour-coded: TX in blue, raw RX bytes in teal, decoded fields in
|
||||
green, errors in red. **Save Log** writes a timestamped `.log` file to
|
||||
`bridges/captures/`. **Send to Analyzer** injects the captured bytes into the
|
||||
Analyzer tab for deeper inspection.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Connecting over cellular (RV50 / RV55 modems)
|
||||
|
||||
Field units connect via Sierra Wireless RV50 or RV55 cellular modems. Use
|
||||
TCP mode in the Console or SFM:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Console tab
|
||||
Transport: TCP
|
||||
Host: <modem public IP>
|
||||
Port: 9034 ← Device Port in ACEmanager (call-up mode)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In code
|
||||
from minimateplus.transport import TcpTransport
|
||||
from minimateplus.client import MiniMateClient
|
||||
|
||||
client = MiniMateClient(transport=TcpTransport("1.2.3.4", 9034), timeout=30.0)
|
||||
info = client.connect()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Required ACEmanager settings (Serial tab)

||||
|
||||

|
||||

| **Quiet Mode** | **Enable** | **Critical.** Disabled → modem injects `RING`/`CONNECT` onto serial line, corrupting the S3 handshake |
|
||||
| Data Forwarding Timeout | `1` (= 0.1 s) | Lower latency; `5` works but is sluggish |
|
||||
| TCP Connect Response Delay | `0` | Non-zero silently drops the first POLL frame |
|
||||
| TCP Idle Timeout | `2` (minutes) | Prevents premature disconnect |
|
||||

|

## Database
|
||||
|
||||
`ach_server.py` writes to `bridges/captures/seismo_relay.db` (SQLite, WAL mode).
|
||||
Three tables, all unit-keyed by serial number:
|
||||
|
||||
| Table | Key | Contents |
|
||||
|-------|-----|----------|
|
||||
| `ach_sessions` | UUID | Per-call-home audit record: serial, peer IP, events_downloaded, duration |
|
||||
| `events` | UUID, UNIQUE(serial, waveform_key) | Triggered events: timestamp, PPV per channel, project/client/operator strings, false_trigger flag |
|
||||
| `monitor_log` | UUID, UNIQUE(serial, waveform_key) | Monitoring intervals: start/stop time, duration, geo threshold |
|
||||
|
||||
Deduplication is by `(serial, waveform_key)` — repeat call-homes or re-runs
|
||||
never produce duplicate rows. Post-erase key reuse is handled automatically
|
||||
via the high-water mark in `ach_state.json`.

## Virtual COM ports (bridge capture)
|
||||
|
||||
The bridge needs two COM ports on the same PC — one that Blastware connects
|
||||
to, and one wired to the seismograph. Use a virtual COM port pair
|
||||
(**com0com** or **VSPD**) to give Blastware a port to talk to.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Blastware → COM4 (virtual) ↔ s3_bridge.py ↔ COM5 (physical) → MiniMate Plus
|

Use **com0com** or **VSPD** to create the virtual COM pair on Windows.

## Roadmap
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Event download — pull waveform records from the unit (`1E → 0A → 0C → 5A → 1F`)
|
||||
- [x] True event-time metadata — project / client / operator / sensor location from SUB 5A
|
||||
- [ ] Write commands — push config changes to the unit (compliance setup, channel config, trigger settings)
|
||||
- [ ] ACH inbound server — accept call-home connections from field units
|
||||
- [ ] Modem manager — push standard configs to RV50/RV55 fleet via Sierra Wireless API
|
||||
- [ ] Full Blastware parity — complete read/write/download cycle without Blastware
|
||||
- [x] Full read pipeline — device info, compliance config, event download with true event-time metadata
|
||||
- [x] Write commands — push compliance config, trigger thresholds, project strings to device
|
||||
- [x] Erase all events — confirmed erase sequence from live MITM capture
|
||||
- [x] Monitor control — start/stop monitoring, read battery/memory/status
|
||||
- [x] Monitor log entries — decode partial 0x2C records (continuous monitoring intervals)
|
||||
- [x] ACH inbound server — accept call-home connections, download events, dedup by key
|
||||
