| - | The Dynamic Observing project is a demonstration of automated geodetic observations. The observing schedule is generated at regular intervals and stations may join or leave at any time. Whenever station availability changes, the schedule is adjusted and re-optimised. In this scenario, the stations remain in control and no remote operation is done. Stations provide status information to a central server and they can automatically retrieve and process schedule files and run them. | + | The Dynamic Observing project is a demonstration of automated geodetic observations.

| + | ===== Scheduler ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The scheduler is a modified version of vie_sched (Sun et al JoG 2014). It is running continuously on a local server at UTAS (ares1-mp), each minute looking for available antennas. If the number of available antennas is more than one, a schedule is created. The schedules are then uploaded to the server for distribution. Each time a new schedule file (skd) is created, a new line is added at the [[http://auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/dynamic_sched_status.html|schedule status]] website. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The usual update interval is 15 minutes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the scheduling is not working, i.e. the is no new schedule despite more than 1 antenna are set on available ([[http://auscope.phys.utas.edu.au/tests/do_status.html|here]] to check), you might need to restart the scheduler. | ||
