(cid:138) About Apollo Project
(cid:138) Operating Requirements
1.1 About Apollo Project
Apollo Project is a Web application that conveniently retrieves time series and state of
health data from any Nanometrics Store, including those on Nanometrics instruments and
those copied to network computers. Available through any Web browser, the client
application provides options for you to define complex, reusable data retrieval tasks called
projects.
Apollo Project has five project types:
(cid:138) Archive projects retrieve data from sources that are continually updated, such as a
directory on a computer that has new data saved to it periodically, or a multicast
group of Nanometrics instruments that has different instruments active at different
times. You can schedule Archive projects to run automatically.
(cid:138) One Time projects retrieve a single time segment of data.
(cid:138) Controlled Source projects retrieve data specified as a set of shots.
(cid:138) Triggers projects retrieve data specified by a trigger list in comma-separated value
(CSV) format.
(cid:138) Field Archive projects perform recurring data retrievals, storing the time of the current
retrieval on the Nanometrics instrument. Using the time of the last retrieval, Field
Archive projects only retrieve the data accumulated since the last time the project
was run on the instrument.
Data for time series channel groups can be downloaded in MiniSEED, SAC (binary format),
Seisan, or SEGY format, depending on the project type. Data for SOH channel groups is
always downloaded in CSV format.

1.2 Operating Requirements
Apollo Project has licensing, client, and server operating requirements. These requirements
are listed in Section 1.2.1, Section 1.2.2, and Section 1.2.3.
1.2.1 Software Licence
If you have ordered and received an Apollo Project software licence from Nanometrics,
install this file during the Apollo Project Web server installation or later using the
Nanometrics Product Licence Installation Wizard. See Section 2.2 “Installing an Apollo
Project Licence File” on page 7 for licence installation instructions for Microsoft® Windows,
Linux, and Mac OS® X server installations.
Installing a licence file after creating a project in Apollo Project will result in the loss of that
project. It is recommended that you install your licence before running Apollo Project for the
first time.
The licence determines the number of projects you can save, the number of time series
channels you can select, and the number of projects you can run concurrently. Without a
licence, Apollo Project defaults to the unlicensed configuration. This configuration allows
you to save one project definition at a time for up to three time series channels from any
combination of Stores.
Click the About button in the client application to view licence information.
1.2.2 Client
The client requirements for any platform are a Web browser with JavaScript enabled and
IP access to the server. Apollo Project version 1.4 has been tested with Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 7 and Mozilla Firefox versions 2 and 3. Other browsers have not been fully
tested with the client but may be used at your discretion.
1.2.3 Server
Run the Apollo Project Web server on Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. For the
(cid:138) Windows operating requirements, see Table 1-1 “Requirements for an Apollo Project
server running Windows” on page 3.
(cid:138) Linux operating requirements, see Table 1-2 “Requirements for an Apollo Project server
running Linux” on page 3.
(cid:138) Mac OS X operating requirements, see Table 1-3 “Requirements for an Apollo Project
server running Mac OS X” on page 3.
