Scientist Interactions with Instrument Platforms As an oceanographer you don’t concern yourself about which data communications assets are used to deliver commands to instruments or how data is delivered back to you. For example, a dtn_file_copy or dtn_traceroute command might be issued from your workstation command line indicating a DTN region and an oceanographic instrument name inside that region. The command might complete 3 weeks later when email arrives telling you that the data has arrived or displaying a report showing the communications path and sample round-trip latency to the instrument(s) you are interested in. |
