# Earthworm Modules:
Reftek2ew Overview

(last revised July 5, 1999)

INTRODUCTION

Module reftek2ew was developed and provided by Refraction Technologies, Inc. The module translates data from the Reftek data server, RTP, into Earthworm trace data format and writes Earthworm trace messages to an Earthworm shared memory ring.

Refraction Technologies, Inc. has provided the source code for both the Solaris and Windows 2000 versions. Along with this module, there are several other programs provided by Reftek which are required to run reftek2ew. Those can be found in the utils subdirectory in the reftek2ew source directory:

utils/solaris:

- rtpd - rtp server daemon program used to boot up Reftek boxes and control communication with them
- rtpc - rtp client program used for Reftek control

utils/winnt: (among other things)

- rtpudpsvc.exe - rtp server
