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).

- Added `_decode_a5_waveform()` to parse SUB 5A frames into per-channel time-series data.
- Introduced `download_waveform(event)` method in `MiniMateClient` to fetch full waveform data.
- Updated `Event` model to include new fields: `total_samples`, `pretrig_samples`, `rectime_seconds`, and `_waveform_key`.
- Enhanced documentation in `CHANGELOG.md` and `instantel_protocol_reference.md` to reflect new features and confirmed protocol details.
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.
Quick Reference — Record Time and Sample Rate rows updated with correct
locations, types, and confirmed values.
Open Questions — SUB 1A item updated to "substantially resolved".
Record time item updated. Sample rate added as resolved.
Confirmed 2026-04-01 against Blastware event report for BE11529 thump
event ("00:28:12 April 1, 2026", PVS 3.906 in/s).
models.py:
- Timestamp.from_waveform_record(): decode 9-byte format from 0C record
bytes[0-8]: [day][sub_code][month][year:2BE][?][hour][min][sec]
- Timestamp: add hour/minute/second optional fields; __str__ includes
time when available
- PeakValues: add peak_vector_sum field (confirmed fixed offset 87)
client.py:
- _decode_waveform_record_into: add timestamp decode from bytes[0:9]
- _extract_record_type: decode byte[1] (sub_code), not ASCII string
search; 0x10 → "Waveform", histogram TBD
- _extract_peak_floats: add PVS from offset 87 (IEEE 754 BE float32)
= √(T²+V²+L²) at max instantaneous vector moment
sfm/server.py:
- _serialise_timestamp: add hour/minute/second/day fields to JSON
- _serialise_peak_values: add peak_vector_sum to JSON
docs: update §7.7.5 and §8 with confirmed 9-byte timestamp layout,
PVS field, and byte[1] record type encoding; update command table;
close resolved open questions.

seismo_lab.py:
- Add ConsolePanel — third tab for direct device connections over serial
or TCP without the bridge subprocess
- Commands: POLL, Serial #, Full Config, Event Index (open/close per cmd)
- Colour-coded output: TX blue, RX raw teal, parsed green, errors red
- Save Log and Send to Analyzer buttons; auto-saves to bridges/captures/
- Queue/after(100) pattern — no performance impact
- Add SCRIPT_DIR to sys.path so minimateplus imports work from GUI
docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md:
- Confirm calibration year field at SUB FE payload offset 0x56–0x57
(uint16 BE): 0x07E7=2023 (BE18189), 0x07E9=2025 (BE11529)
- Document full Sierra Wireless RV50/RV55 required ACEmanager settings
(Quiet Mode, Data Forwarding Timeout, TCP Connect Response Delay, etc.)
- Correct §14.2: RV50/RV55 sends RING/CONNECT over TCP to caller even
with Quiet Mode on; parser handles by scanning for DLE+STX
- Confirm "Operating System" boot string capture via cold-start Console
- Resolve open question: 0x07E7 field = calibration year

- minimateplus/transport.py: add TcpTransport — stdlib socket-based transport
with same interface as SerialTransport. Overrides read_until_idle() with
idle_gap=1.5s to absorb the modem's 1-second serial data forwarding buffer.
- minimateplus/client.py: make `port` param optional (default "") so
MiniMateClient works cleanly when a pre-built transport is injected.
- minimateplus/__init__.py: export SerialTransport and TcpTransport.
- sfm/server.py: add `host` / `tcp_port` query params to all device endpoints.
New _build_client() helper selects TCP or serial transport automatically.
OSError (connection refused, timeout) now returns HTTP 502.
- docs/instantel_protocol_reference.md: add changelog entry and full §14
(TCP/Modem Transport) documenting confirmed transparent passthrough, no ENQ
on connect, modem forwarding delay, call-up vs ACH modes, and hardware note
deprecating Raven X in favour of RV55/RX55.
Usage: GET /device/info?host=<modem_ip>&tcp_port=12345
