ew2file is a utility for writing out messages as a file (in binary form).
Below is a copy of the .d file with detailed notes on each parameter
# ew2file_generic configuration file
#
#
MyModuleId MOD_EW2FILE # module id for this program
InRing SM_RING # transport ring to use for input
HeartBeatInt 30 # EW internal heartbeat interval (sec)
LogFile 1 # If 0, don't write logfile
# if 2, write to module log but not to
# stderr/stdout .
#
# Logos of messages to export to client systems
# Each message of a given logo will be written to a file with the specified
# File Suffix at the end of the file name folloing `.'.
# Do NOT include a `.' in the suffix.
# Use as many GetMsgLogo commands as you want.
# Installation Module Message Type File Suffix
GetMsgLogo INST_UCB MOD_REDI2EW TYPE_STRONGMOTIONII smUCB
MaxMsgSize 512 # maximum size (bytes) for input msgs
QueueSize 1000 # number of msgs to buffer
TimeBasedFilename 1 # set non-zero if you want a time string in the
# form of "yyyymmdd-hhmmss." at the beginning of
# each output file. The timestring is generated from
# msg contents, currently possible for only msgtypes:
# TYPE_PICK2K, TYPE_PICK_SCNL, TYPE_HYP2000ARC
# Optional heartbeat file commands.
#----------------------------------
# Default HeartFileInt is 0 => send no heartbeat files.
# Default HeartFileMsg is "Alive".
# Default HeartFileSuffix is "hrt"
HeartFileInt 30 # heartbeat file interval; optional
HeartFileMsg Alive # string for heartbeat file; optional
HeartFileSuffix hrtUCB # suffix for heartbeat files; do not include `.'
# SerialKeeper: File name where the serial number of the output files is
# stored. This should be a unique file name, in the params directory.
# If the file does not exist, ew2file will attempt to create it.
SerialKeeper ew2file_keeper
# TempDir: Directory in which files are created. This directory must be in the
# same filesystem as all the SendDir directories. Exactly one TempDir is required.
TempDir /home/earthworm/run/ew2file/temp
# SendDir: Directory to which output files will be moved after they have
# been created.
# Use as many SendDir commands as you need.
# Be sure the final line is terminated with a newline.
SendDir /home/earthworm/run/ew2file/Menlo
SendDir /home/earthworm/run/ew2file/CGS
