The web server can parse the XML to a database for further analysis and reporting. A simple PHP script
that appends each new LSS-100P XML report to a file and mails each report is shown below. This is a
good starting point to verify that things are working.
<?php
$PostData=file_get_contents("php://input"); // get post data into a string
file_put_contents("/tmp/PostTest.txt",$PostData,FILE_APPEND); // append post data to a
file
// Set up to mail data
$to='[email protected]';
$subject='LSS-100 Post Data';
$headers= 'From: [email protected]';
mail($to, $subject, $PostData, $headers);
?>
LSS-DB
LSS-DB is a free database program designed for use with the LSS-100P. It consists of PHP scripts and
javascript to capture XML posts from LSS-100P units and present the data to users. LSS-DB is designed
for use by theater chains or theater service companies that operate a Network Operations Center. LSS-
DB separates data from LSS-100P units by OrgKey. Users are only allowed access to data with a
corresponding OrgKey. A single service company can serve many different theater chains with one LSS-
DB installation. An online demo can be viewed at
http://lssdb.uslinc.com
. LSS-DB can be downloaded
from

Hidden Screens
The LSS-100P has a few hidden screens that are described below. One shows the configuration data for
the unit. The other two allow for calibration (or mis-calibration) of the unit.
View Configuration Data
The LSS-100P configuration is saved as text in a series of commands. These commands are sent through
the same command interpreter as commands received over TCP or from a script. You can view this data
at
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ConfigFlash.html
(substituting the IP address of the LSS-100P for the xxx).
Calibration Screens
These screens are supplied to allow for field calibration of the LSS-100P. You should ONLY attempt this if
you have accurate reference instrumentation. Light calibration is to be done with a projector having the
same illumination source as will be used in operation. If a xenon projector is to be used, the LSS-100P
must be calibrated with a xenon source (ideally the same projector). Luminance and color MUST be
measured with a spectrometer-based instrument, such as the USL PCA-100. Reference measurements
should be made as close to the LSS-100P position as possible. Do not attempt calibration without the
appropriate equipment.
Two calibration screens are available:
