When NN exceeds 0xFC, the codec extends to 12-bit NN by using the
low nibble of the TYPE byte as the high nibble of NN:
1X NN → nibble-delta block, NN = (X << 8) | NN_byte
2X NN → int8-delta block, same NN encoding
Walker and decode_waveform_v2 now handle both narrow (X=0) and wide
(X != 0) forms uniformly.
Discovered while investigating why SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b walkers stopped
mid-event. SP0 segment 12 (V continuation, cycle 3) starts with
"11 90" — high nibble of byte 0 = 1 (= nibble-delta block type), low
nibble = 1 plus byte 1 = 0x90 → NN = 0x190 = 400 nibble deltas in
202 bytes. Walker was rejecting "11" as a non-tag.
Sample count went from 47,364 to 72,972 verified byte-exact:
event-a: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
event-b: 6912 (full) was 738
event-c: 3840 (full) was 3840 (full)
event-d: 3840 (full) was 3840 (full)
JQ0: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
V70: 9984 (full) was 9984 (full)
SP0: 9984 (full) was 5122
SS0: 9222 (-7 tail) was 1758
SV0: 9222 (-7 tail) was 2114
7 of 9 fixtures now decode end-to-end across all 3 geo channels.
The 2 remaining (SS0, SV0) are missing only 1-7 tail samples per
channel — minor walker edge case at the very end.
74 tests pass (was 71).
Replaces the broken legacy int16 LE decoder in client.py with the
verified multi-channel codec. Three changes:
1. blastware_file.extract_body_bytes(a5_frames) — new helper that
factors out the body-reconstruction logic from write_blastware_file
so both writers (BW binary) and decoders (sample arrays) can use
the same canonical bytes.
2. waveform_codec.decode_a5_frames(a5_frames) — production entry point.
Returns the raw_samples dict consumers expect (Tran/Vert/Long as
int16 ADC counts; MicL as native ADC counts). Internally:
A5 frames → extract_body_bytes → decode_waveform_v2
→ decoded_to_adc_counts (geos ×16; mic pass-through)
3. waveform_codec.mic_count_to_db(count) — MicL ADC → dB(L) per BW's
display formula:
dB = sign(count) × (81.94 + 20 × log10(|count|)) for |count| ≥ 1
Verified against V70 fixture: count=813 → 140.14 dB (BW PSPL 140.1).
client.py:_decode_a5_waveform is reduced to a thin wrapper that calls
decode_a5_frames and populates event.raw_samples. Original implementation
preserved as _decode_a5_waveform_LEGACY (dead code; reference only).
Also fixed a tail-end bug in decode_waveform_v2 where trailer-section
"40 02" markers (containing ASCII serial bytes, NOT real segment headers)
were being mis-interpreted, producing 2 spurious samples per channel at
the end of each event. Added bytes [12:14] == "02 00" validation to
reject non-header markers.
7 new pytest tests cover the new helpers and dB conversion. Total:
71 passing (up from 64).
Known limitation (carried over from before): the walker still stops
mid-event on the loudest fixtures (SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b) at some
mid-segment edge cases not yet characterized. Every sample reached
is decoded correctly; the walker just doesn't reach all of them.
Loud events still yield 5,000–15,000 byte-exact samples each.
User intuition (16-bit) + 12-bit packing hypothesis + the int16 ADC
range constraint led to the final piece.
30 NN block format (CONFIRMED across all 14 blocks in the fixture
bundle):
NN 12-bit signed deltas packed as NN/4 groups of 6 bytes each.
Within each group:
bytes [0:2] = 16 bits = 4 × 4-bit high nibbles (MSB-first)
bytes [2:6] = 4 × int8 low bytes
delta[k] = sign_extend_12((high_nibble[k] << 8) | low_byte[k])
Block length = NN × 1.5 + 2 bytes (tag included). Earlier walker
used NN × 4 which is only correct in the TRAILER section.
Why 12-bit: ±2047 in 16-count units ≈ ±10 in/s = the geophone's
full-scale range at Normal sensitivity. The codec sizes its widest
delta to cover the worst-case sample-to-sample change.
Results: every decoded sample across all fixture events matches truth
byte-exact. ZERO divergences.
event-a: 9984 samples (full event, all 3 geos)
event-c: 3840 (full event)
event-d: 3840 (full event)
JQ0: 9984 (full event)
V70: 9984 (full event)
SP0: 5122 (walker stops early on edge cases)
SS0: 1758
SV0: 2114
event-b: 738
TOTAL: 47,364 ADC samples verified, zero errors.
Three full 3-sec events decode end-to-end across all three geo
channels. The events where fewer samples decode (SP0/SS0/SV0/event-b)
are limited by walker robustness issues past the first few segments,
NOT by decoder correctness.
64 tests pass (up from 55). Files: minimateplus/waveform_codec.py
(new 30 NN decode + corrected walker length), tests/test_waveform_codec.py
(new full-event regression tests), docs/* (updated status everywhere),
analysis/test_30nn_hybrid.py (new — the analysis script that confirmed
the format).
User asked the right question: do events without 30 NN blocks decode
fully? Answer: YES.
event-a: Tran 3328 ✓ Vert 3328 ✓ Long 3328 ✓ (28 segments, 0 '30 NN')
event-c: Tran 1280 ✓ Vert 1280 ✓ Long 1280 ✓ (12 segments, 0 '30 NN')
event-d: Tran 1280 ✓ Vert 1280 ✓ Long 1280 ✓ (12 segments, 0 '30 NN')
17,664 ADC samples decoded byte-exact against BW's ASCII export.
Zero divergences across event-a, event-c, event-d.
This means the codec is FULLY SOLVED for any event without 30 NN
blocks. The remaining gap is the 30 NN block format only — used for
high-amplitude regions where deltas exceed int8 range. For quiet
events (or quiet stretches of loud events), the decoder is complete.
9 new regression tests bring the total to 55, all passing.
Files: tests/test_waveform_codec.py + docs/waveform_codec_re_status.md
+ new analysis/verify_quiet_bundle.py.
The segment-channel scoring analyzer (from scratch/next_experiment_skeleton.py)
ran and immediately confirmed the rotation hypothesis:
SP0 seg 0: best fit Vert 508/508 ✓
SP0 seg 1: best fit Long 508/508 ✓
SP0 seg 3: best fit Tran 508/508 ✓ (Tran continuation)
SP0 seg 5: best fit Long 508/508 ✓
SP0 seg 9: best fit Long 508/508 ✓
V70 seg 0: best fit Vert 508/508 ✓
V70 seg 1: best fit Long 508/508 ✓
Channels rotate Tran → Vert → Long → MicL per 40 02 segment header.
Also discovered the segment header has DOUBLE duty: bytes [14:18] anchor
the NEW segment's channel (2 samples as int16 BE in 16-count units), AND
bytes [0:4] extend the PREVIOUS channel by 2 more samples (2 deltas as
int16 BE). This is the same "2 anchors + delta stream" structure as the
body preamble for Tran.
decode_waveform_v2 now returns full per-channel sample dicts.
Byte-exact verified ranges:
V70: Tran 512, Vert 512, Long 512 (all first segments)
JQ0: Tran 512, Vert 258
SP0: Long 1536 (all 3 L segments)
Still open: the 30 NN block format (high-amplitude packed deltas) —
appears mid-segment when single-byte deltas can't carry the magnitude.
6 new tests bring the count to 46. All passing.
Three "truth layers" had drifted apart between commits. Fixed:
1. waveform_codec.py docstring rewritten from the 2026-05-08
"structural framing only" state to the 2026-05-11 "Tran segment 0
solved + segment-header partially decoded" state. Killed stale
"~80 sample-sets per segment" language (real segments are
flash-page-byte-sized, not sample-count-sized; observed first-segment
sizes are 42-510 samples depending on signal). Killed stale
"preamble is 7 or 9 bytes" language (always 7).
2. docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1: added a clear
"CURRENT STATUS" box at the top with a status table. Replaced the
stale "~80 sample-sets" line with the verified per-event segment
sizes. Merged two redundant segment-header field-table sections.
3. docs/waveform_codec_re_status.md (NEW): clean working-status doc.
Solved / not solved / hypothesis / next experiment / fixtures /
tests. The protocol reference remains the historical Rosetta
Stone; this new file is the current-truth working note that
shouldn't accumulate fossil layers.
4. CLAUDE.md §"Waveform body codec": prominent warning box at top —
"DO NOT TRUST decoded sample arrays yet." BW binary passthrough
is the only sample-bearing output to trust until the decoder
lands. Added a "Next experiment" subsection pointing the next
pass at the segment-channel scoring analyzer.
40 tests still pass.
User uploaded a Vert-heavy event (JQ0) and a Mic-heavy event (V70).
Those two were exactly what was needed to crack the next piece:
- 00 NN block = run-length-encoded zero deltas in the current channel.
Append NN copies of the current cumulative value (no change).
- find_data_start now recognizes 00 NN as a valid first tag (some events
begin with a leading 00 NN RLE block).
- decode_tran_initial now decodes the FULL segment 0 (not just the first
data block).
Results across 5 fixture events:
- M529LL1A.SP0 (loud-all-channels) : 510 / 510 ✓
- M529LL1L.JQ0 (Vert-heavy) : 510 / 510 ✓
- M529LL1L.V70 (Mic-heavy) : 510 / 510 ✓
- M529LL1A.SV0 (loud-from-start) : 58 / 58 ✓
- M529LL1A.SS0 (loud-from-start) : 42 / 502 (stops at first 30 04)
The 30 04 block (only seen in loud-from-start events) hasn't been
decoded yet — likely a channel-switch marker for the high-amplitude
regime.
Also discovered: segment header (40 02) payload bytes [0:2] = T_delta
at first sample of new segment, [6:8] = byte length to next segment.
Multi-segment Tran decoding still diverges after sample 512 because
the per-segment channel ordering after the header is unknown.
Tests: 40 pass (up from 36).
Files:
- minimateplus/waveform_codec.py: find_data_start fix, RLE handling,
full segment-0 decode in decode_tran_initial
- tests/test_waveform_codec.py: synthetic RLE test, full segment 0
tests for JQ0 and V70
- tests/fixtures/5-11-26/: M529LL1L.JQ0, M529LL1L.V70 + TXT exports
- docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1: RLE + segment-header docs
User uploaded 3 high-amplitude events (PPV 6-7 in/s — shook the geophone
hard) to decode-re/5-11-26/. These cracked the Tran codec:
- Preamble bytes [3:5] and [5:7] = Tran[0] and Tran[1] as int16 BE
in 16-count units (LSB = 0.005 in/s). Confirmed across all 7
fixtures.
- First data block carries Tran deltas from sample 2 onward:
* 10 NN block: NN/2 bytes of payload, each byte = two 4-bit signed
nibble deltas (high nibble first)
* 20 NN block: NN int8 signed deltas
Verified 22+42+46 = 110 Tran samples across SP0/SS0/SV0 with 0 errors
against BW's ASCII export.
Why the earlier 96-combination brute force failed: the quiet 5-8
events all had T[0] = T[1] ≈ 0 so the preamble's per-channel encoding
was undetectable. Loud events made the encoding obvious.
What's solved:
- minimateplus.waveform_codec.decode_tran_initial: returns first
N Tran samples in 16-count units for any body.
- Walker length formula for in-data 30 NN blocks (NN*2 instead of NN*4).
- Walker now handles bodies that start with 20 NN (in addition to 10 NN).
What's still open:
- Tran past the first data block (multi-block channel switching).
- Vert / Long / MicL channel encodings.
- Walker correctness past offset ~427 in event-b.
Tests: 36 pass. decode_waveform_v2 still returns None — the full
multi-channel decoder is not wired up. decode_tran_initial is the
new verified entry point.
Files: minimateplus/waveform_codec.py, tests/test_waveform_codec.py
(adds 5-11-26 fixtures + decode_tran_initial tests), and
docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1 (Tran codec spec).
Decoded the structural framing of the Blastware waveform body — the bytes
between the 21-byte STRT record and the 26-byte file footer. The body is
a sequence of tagged variable-length blocks, NOT raw int16 LE. Five tag
types (10/20/00/30/40 NN) and their lengths are now confirmed against the
4-event May 2026 fixture bundle. Body splits cleanly into ~16 segments
(for a 1280-sample event) separated by 40 02 segment headers carrying a
monotonically incrementing uint32 LE counter at bytes [8:12].
What's done:
- minimateplus/waveform_codec.py — block walker, segment splitter, segment
header parser. decode_waveform_v2 is a stub returning None until the
byte-to-sample mapping is solved; client.py is unchanged.
- tests/test_waveform_codec.py — 31 tests covering block detection, lengths,
contiguous-walk, segment splitting, segment-header parsing, and counter
monotonicity. All pass.
- tests/fixtures/decode-re-5-8-26/ — bundled fixtures (4 events, BW binary
+ Blastware ASCII export each).
- docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md §7.6.1 — replaced retraction box
with the verified structural decoding plus an explicit list of what's
still open.
What's still open: the per-byte mapping inside 10 NN / 20 NN blocks. 96
channel-permutation × nibble-order × sign-convention combinations were
brute-force tested; none match BW's ASCII export to within ±1 ADC count.
The codec is more elaborate than uniform 4-bit deltas — likely a hybrid
variable-bit-width scheme with segment-anchor resync points. Next
recommended step: capture an event with a known calibration tone to pin
down magnitude scaling.
Walker also bails out partway through event-b (open issue documented in
both the module and the protocol reference).
Three-pass audit of docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md against
CLAUDE.md and the minimateplus/ implementation. Closes long-standing
discrepancies that had accumulated as the protocol understanding
evolved month over month.
Major corrections:
- §2/§3: S3 frames terminate on bare ETX, not DLE+ETX; payload
byte[1] is flags / byte[2] is SUB (was wrongly DLE/ADDR).
- §4.2: probe responses do not carry data length; DATA_LENGTH
is a per-SUB hardcoded constant.
- §5.1: dropped stale duplicate "SUB 1C = TRIGGER CONFIG READ"
row; SUB 0A lengths corrected from 0x30/0x26 to 0x46/0x2C.
- §5.3: added the missing write-frame mechanics (BW_CMD-only
doubling, DLE-aware checksum, offset = data[1]+2, ack format,
SUB 71 chunk parameters).
- §7.6.x: switched compliance-anchor convention from the unstable
10-byte form to the canonical 6-byte `\xbe\x80\x00\x00\x00\x00`;
recording_mode confirmed at anchor−8 in both read and write
(the prior anchor−3/−4 split caused anchor drift on write).
Sample_rate at anchor−6, histogram_interval at anchor−4 (now ✅),
record_time at anchor+6. Geo_range row added at channel_label+33.
- §7.5b/§8: added the 10-byte sub_code=0x03 continuous-mode
timestamp variant; peak vector sum location corrected from
fixed offset 87 to label-relative tran_pos−12.
- §7.7.2: SUB 1E/1F token byte at params[7], not params[6].
- §7.7.3: SUB 0A length disambiguation rewritten.
- §7.8.4/§7.8.7: fi==9 skip marked FIXED; metadata-page TODO
replaced with current decoder state.
- §11: POLL example wire bytes corrected; SUB 5A row added to
checksum table.
- §13/§14: device-under-test updated to BE11529/S338.17; TCP
Idle Timeout consistency fix (0→2 min); Data Forwarding
Timeout units clarified.
- §15 (renumbered from second §14): open-question entries
already resolved in CLAUDE.md closed out.
- Appendix D: extension taxonomy rewritten — extensions encode
a timestamp (AB0T scheme), not recording mode.
Navigation note added to §7 acknowledging the organic-growth
duplicate section numbers (§7.5/§7.5b, §7.6, §7.7, §7.8, §7.9)
and pointing readers to the canonical sections for each topic.

Tighten the Series III / Series IV boundary so UI and storage dispatch
on a clean signal instead of sniffing filenames or applying magnitude
heuristics.
Phase 1 — events.device_family column ("series3" | "series4"):
self-applying migration with filename-based backfill of existing rows
(1,132 backfilled on prod 2026-05-20); plumbed through every import
path (BW endpoint, IDF endpoint, ACH server, BW CLI, sidecar
backfill); UPSERT preserves via COALESCE; UI dispatches on it.
Phase 2 — extract micromate/ package alongside minimateplus/:
native IdfEvent / IdfReport / IdfPeaks / IdfProjectInfo /
IdfSensorCheck (mic in dB(L), not pseudo-psi); moved
idf_ascii_report.py from sfm/ to micromate/; refactored
save_imported_idf to use IdfEvent and bridge to minimateplus.Event at
the SQL-insert boundary; idf_file.py stub for the future binary codec.
Phase 3 prep — docs/idf_protocol_reference.md captures the two
observed Thor binary header signatures (1,012 newer-firmware files vs
2 old files whose layout is byte-for-byte BW-STRT-compatible), file-size
hints suggesting int8 sample encoding, open questions in dependency
order, and a concrete first-session plan for cracking the codec.
Also rolled in the v0.18.1 hotfixes that motivated this work:
- idf_ascii_report parser now handles "<0.005 in/s" (below-threshold)
and "N/A" markers without leaving raw strings in numeric DB columns.
- sfm_webapp.html: defensive _ppvFmt / mic formatter so future
data-shape drift can't kill the whole events table render.
All 1,014 example-data sidecars round-trip through the new package.
See CHANGELOG.md for full notes.
- Created a comprehensive runbook (`wedged_unit_recovery.md`) detailing the recovery process for units stuck in a call-home loop, including symptoms, recovery steps, and explanations of the failure mode.
- Added `blind_stop.sh` script to send stop-monitoring commands in a tight loop for unresponsive devices.
- Introduced `rescue_device.sh` script to disable Auto Call Home and erase events from a busy device.
- Implemented `slow_drip.sh` script to send stop-monitoring frames at a slow rate to prevent UART overrun.
- Developed `spam_stop.sh` script to rapidly send stop-monitoring commands to a device.
- Created `watch_unit.sh` script for passive monitoring of device reachability, logging results over time.
- Update `s3_bridge.py` to default raw capture file paths to "auto" for timestamped naming.
- Modify `gui_bridge.py` to pre-check raw capture options and streamline path handling.
- Extend `ach_server.py` to save both incoming and outgoing raw bytes for analysis.
- Revise `CHANGELOG.md` and `instantel_protocol_reference.md` to reflect changes in recording mode handling and compliance data encoding.
- Added `CallHomeConfig` model to represent the Auto Call Home settings.
- Introduced methods in `MiniMateClient` for reading (`get_call_home_config`) and writing (`set_call_home_config`) the call home configuration.
- Updated `MiniMateProtocol` with new commands for call home operations (SUB 0x2C for read, SUB 0x7E for write, and SUB 0x7F for confirm).
- Created API endpoints for retrieving and updating call home settings in the server.
- Enhanced the web interface with a new "Call Home" tab for user interaction with call home settings.
- Implemented JavaScript functions for reading and writing call home configurations from the web app.
section[6] is the monitoring flag (was wrongly section[1] — section[1] is always
0x00 in both states). Battery and memory fields use relative-from-end offsets
(section[-11:-9], section[-9:-5], section[-5:-1]) instead of absolute positions,
which broke when the payload grew by 3 bytes in monitoring mode.
Confirmed from full byte diff of 142 0xE3 frames in 4-8-26/2ndtry capture.
SFM start_monitoring now polls /device/monitor/status every 5s for up to 60s
instead of a fixed 25s delay (unit runs ~40s on-device sensor check before
confirming monitoring state).
Also corrects stale 1C→6E response anomaly claim in protocol reference — no
exceptions to the 0xFF−SUB rule are known.
- Introduced new SUBs for monitoring status, start, and stop commands in protocol.py.
- Implemented read_monitor_status, start_monitoring, and stop_monitoring methods in MiniMateProtocol class.
- Added new API endpoints for monitoring status retrieval and control in server.py.
- Enhanced the web application with a monitoring panel, including battery and memory status display.
- Created a new Python script to parse SUB 0x1C response frames for monitoring status.
- Documented the monitoring status response format and field locations in markdown and text files.
Adds §7.8.4 to protocol reference and corresponding CLAUDE.md sections:
- End-of-stream: device sends exactly 1 raw byte after last chunk; handled
via TimeoutError + bytes_fed>0 check → graceful break to termination
- Chunk timing: ~1s per chunk, 35 chunks for a 9,306-sample event, safe
timeout is 10s (not default 120s)
- fi==9 decoder bug: hardcoded skip drops ~133 sample-sets per event;
noted as known issue pending fix
- ADC conversion: counts × (range/32767) → physical units (in/s for geo)
Changelog entries added for all four items (2026-04-06).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

New/corrected sections:
§7.6.1 Record Time — corrected: anchor+10 supersedes the +0x28 absolute
offset. Added 3 s, 5 s, 8 s confirmations alongside existing 7/10/13.
Warning added: do NOT use fixed offset for BE11529.
§7.6.2 (NEW) SUB 1A Multi-Frame Read Protocol — 4-frame A/B/C/D
sequence documented (reverse-engineered from raw_bw capture). E5
page_key field explained. BE11529 duplicate-page behaviour and
(page_key, chunk_len) dedup strategy documented.
§7.6.3 (NEW) Sample Rate and DLE Jitter — Normal/Fast/Faster = 1024/
2048/4096 Sa/s confirmed. Root cause of ±1 byte cfg jitter explained:
4096 = 0x1000 → `10 10 00` in raw frame → `10 00` after DLE unstuffing
= 1 byte shorter than 04 00/08 00. Anchor search requirement explained.
Changelog — 5 new entries covering the 4-frame sequence, duplicate-page
detection, record_time anchor correction, sample_rate confirmation, and
_pending_frames / reset_parser=False implementation notes.
