NRL Internal Architecture
The NRL Internal architecture is shown below. It contains two discrete sections:
1. A LOGGER section where the terminal connects to the field transducers and the logging scheme,
scan rates and diagnostics are managed.
The StarlogV4 support software allows a user to generate a logger program (called a scheme) which
defines transducer information, logging scan rates, logger interval etc and various engineering unit
definitions. These files are called, for example the LDR and KBD files.
2. A COMMUNICATOR section which deals with communications to the server. This section contains,
for example, a scheduler component and the modem component, either a Cellular Network modem
or a Satellite Network modem. The communicator manages functions such as the reporting interval,
the number of communications attempts per communications session, etc.
The StarlogV4 support software allows a user to generate a configuration file for the Communicator
section, called an FPO file in which the user sets the required communications parameters.
